  • Title: Immediate transbiliary embolization of a biliary-hepatic artery fistula encountered during access for percutaneous biliary drainage.
    Author: Nakagawa N, Nakajima Y, Bird SM, Wakabayashi M.
    Journal: Cardiovasc Intervent Radiol; 1994; 17(5):295-7. PubMed ID: 7820840.
    Abstract:
    The authors describe a case in which a biliary-hepatic artery fistula was created by a glidewire perforation during percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage and was successfully treated by embolization via the transbiliary tract. Great caution should be exercised to avoid perforation when a Terumo hydrophilic glidewire is used during biliary intervention.
