A CASE OF HEMOBILIA CAUSED BY BILIARY STENT MIGRATION DURING LONG-TERM STENTING

Abstract

Long-term biliary stenting for cholangitis caused by common bile duct stones had been performed in a 94-year-old female. She was admitted to our hospital 4 years later at the age of 98 because of hemobilia caused by biliary stent migration. On the 8th day after admission, she went into hemorrhagic shock and CT scan revealed massive hemobilia and liver hemorrhage. TAE was performed and the bleeding was controlled successfully.
