Transcatheter embolic control of iatrogenic hematobilia

For the patient with hematobilia, a serious complication of liver injury, angiography is the definitive diagnostic procedure. In addition to localizing precisely the source of the hemorrhage, angiography also provides an effective alternative to surgery for the control of hemorrhage. In two cases of iatrogenic hematobilia discussed, the bleeding sites were identified by angiography, and the bleeding was controlled by transcatheter embolization.
