[Iatrogenic hemobilia: clinical manifestation, diagnosis and management]
In the last 4 years, we had 8 cases of iatrogenic massive bleeding from the biliary duct following operations on the liver and bile ducts. It seemed to us that it was not an infrequent complication. In this communication, the clinical manifestations, diagnosis and management of the complications were presented with special emphasis on the importance of angiography in the diagnosis of this condition. In this series, 6 cases were treated successfully by trans-catheter embolization. It is believed that embolization is safe, reliable, and should be the procedure of choice in the treatment of this complication.
