Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) has received much attention as a non-invasive alternative to endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, primarily for investigation of choledocholithiasis, but also for evaluation of less common biliary anomalies. We present a case of haemobilia causing acute pancreatitis after percutaneous liver biopsy in which the diagnosis could be made clearly by MRCP, thus avoiding endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography and sphincterotomy.

Hemobilia: A Narrative Review of Current Diagnostic Techniques and Emerging Management Strategies.

Hemobilia is a relatively uncommon but important cause of gastrointestinal bleeding. It occurs due to abnormal communications between the biliary system and surrounding vasculature, often caused by surgical interventions, trauma, infections, or malignancies. The rise of advanced hepato-pancreato-biliary techniques, including radiofrequency ablation and transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) placement, necessitates careful evaluation for the potential presence of hemobilia during the post-procedural period of these patients.

Recent clinical outcomes of multi-regimen chemotherapy in patients with cholangiocarcinoma (CCC) have shown benefits in terms of overall survival. However, repeated endoscopic biliary drainage (EBD) and serious adverse events negatively affect prolongation of the survival period. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of massive hemobilia and the outcomes of its management with fully covered self-expandable metal stents (FC-SEMSs) in patients with hilum-involving CCC receiving multi-regimen chemotherapy.

- * A 64-year-old woman was treated for CAP after presenting with abdominal pain and gastrointestinal bleeding, with imaging confirming the diagnosis.
- * Successful management involved angioembolization followed by cholecystectomy, highlighting the need for early detection and intervention in cases of CAP associated with acute cholecystitis.
Efficacy and safety of endoscopic nasobiliary drainage versus percutaneous transhepatic cholangial drainage in the treatment of advanced hilar cholangiocarcinoma: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Article Synopsis
- This study compared the effectiveness and safety of Endoscopic Nasobiliary Drainage (ENBD) and Percutaneous Transhepatic Cholangiography Drainage (PTCD) in treating advanced Hilar Cholangiocarcinoma (HCCA) through a meta-analysis of 26 clinical trials.
- Results indicated that PTCD had a significantly higher success rate for biliary drainage and was better at reducing Total Bilirubin (TBIL) levels post-procedure, while ENBD had a lower overall complication rate, particularly in terms of post-drainage bleeding.
- The findings suggest that while PTCD is generally more effective for drainage and has fewer serious complications, ENBD presents a safer option concerning post-drainage hemorrhage.
Haemobilia as a primary presentation of cholangiocarcinoma.

We present a case of haemobilia as a primary presentation for underlying cholangiocarcinoma. A man in his 50s initially presented to emergency with Quincke's triad, RUQ pain, jaundice and UGI bleeding. The initial diagnosis of haemobilia was made on endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) on primary presentation, but the presence of blood and the recurrent clot obstruction of the biliary tract made the underlying diagnosis extremely difficult, resulting in the patient having 4 ERCP, 1 spyglass and multiple CTs and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography.
