Abstract:
A 67-year-old man presented with signs and symptoms of acute cholangitis following recent endoscopic evaluation at an outside facility for upper gastrointestinal bleed requiring hemostatic clip placement in the duodenum. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography showed a hemostatic clip placed at the major papillary orifice, resulting in mechanical obstruction. The hemostatic clip was removed, and a biliary sphincterotomy was performed with subsequent biliary stent placement with successful alleviation of the patient's biliary obstruction.

Extrinsic and Intrinsic Pathways of Hemostasis
The Extrinsic Pathway
The extrinsic pathway of coagulation is typically initiated by tissue damage that exposes blood to tissue factor (TF), a protein released by the damaged tissue cells outside the blood vessels—this interaction with TF triggers biochemical reactions involving specific clotting factors. The key player here is Factor VII, which...
