title: Delayed Severe Hemobilia Due to Bilio-venous Fistula After Percutaneous Transhepatic Biliary Drainage: Treatment With Covered Stent Placement.
abstract: Biliovenous fistula occurs due to development of a communication between hepatic duct and portal vein branches and is a rare complication of percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD). Most of them are self-limiting and only occasionally they need interventional management. Placement of biliary stent graft is a viable option. We present here a case of a 56-year-old male with carcinoma of gall bladder presenting with hemodynamic shock due to severe hemobilia after PTBD and treated successfully by biliary covered stent placement.
