title: Transvenous embolization to treat uncontrolled hemobilia and peritoneal bleeding after transjugular liver biopsy.
abstract: Hemobilia is one of the complications that can occur after a transjugular liver biopsy. Various treatment options have been described for the management of this condition, including transarterial embolization and open surgery. We describe a patient who developed uncontrolled hemobilia after a transjugular liver biopsy that required a transvenous approach for embolization and treatment purposes.
