Traumatic Cystic Artery Pseudoaneurysm After Transjugular Liver Biopsy: A Case Report.

December 2024
Interventional Radiology, Houston Vascular Care, Houston, USA.
Cystic artery pseudoaneurysms are a rare but life-threatening entity that commonly occurs as a sequela to acute cholecystitis. We present a case of a 52-year-old male with a past medical history of decompensated alcoholic liver cirrhosis who underwent a transjugular liver biopsy (TJLB) after correction of his baseline coagulopathy. On post-operative day one, the patient had significant blood loss with an inappropriate response to blood transfusions and without an identifiable source of bleeding.

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.

On the 9th day after the procedure, he presented with melena and decreasing hemoglobin levels. Hemobilia due to fistula formation between the right intrahepatic bile duct and right hepatic artery was suspected on computed tomography.

This study aims to analyze the long-term outcomes of endoscopic therapy in these patients.
Methods: Retrospective review of a prospectively maintained database of all patients with symptomatic PCC managed with endoscopic retrograde cholangiography (ERC) followed by stent placement.
Covered TIPS Procedure-Related Major Complications: Incidence, Management and Outcome From a Single Center.

Background And Objective: Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) is a well-established procedure for treating complications of portal hypertension. Due to the complexity of anatomy and difficulty of the puncture technique, the procedure itself might brought potential complications, such as puncture failure, bleeding, infection, and, rarely, death. The aim of this study is to explore the incidence, management, and outcome of TIPS procedure-related major complications using covered stents.
