title: Hemostasis using a fully covered self-expandable metal stent for marked bleeding from the bile duct following stent removal (with videos).
abstract: We describe a case of life-threatening hemorrhage from the bile duct following stent removal. Eventually, hemostasis was achieved by tamponade using a fully covered self-expandable metal stent.
