Abstract

In the recent years, due to advances in surgical techniques, the safety of hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery has improved and the incidence of complications has decreased. However, a postoperative hemorrhage is often fatal, and a treatment method has not yet been established. Recently, transcatheter arterial embolization has used for the treatment of postoperative hemorrhage, but it may lead to peripheral tissue ischemia. A hemostatic procedure using a covered stent was previously reported for preventing ischemia ; however, it was not covered by insurance. In early 2016, the GORE VIABAHN stent was covered by insurance for use in treating traumatic and iatrogenic vascular injury. Here, we report 4 cases in which the GORE VIABAHN stent was used for hemostasis of intractable hemorrhage.
