Post cholecystectomy hemobilia: transcatheter embolization of pseudoaneurysms with homemade steel coils

Indian J Gastroenterol. 2002 Jul-Aug;21(4):161-2.

Abstract

Two patients presented with hemobilia, one and two months following cholecystectomy. Angiography demonstrated pseudoaneurysms arising form the gastroduodenal and right hepatic arteries. Percutaneous transcatheter embolization of the pseudoaneurysms was successfully performed in both patients using homemade steel coils.
