Abstract:
A case of hepatic arterial haemorrhage after percutaneous biliary drainage catheter placement is presented. Temporary control of the haemorrhage was obtained by placement of a larger drainage catheter which tamponaded the bleeding artery. Hepatic angiography followed by transcatheter embolotherapy provided a definitive control of bleeding.
