A 56-year-old woman with cirrhosis due to chronic hepatitis C underwent emergent transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) due to a ruptured esophageal varix during esophagogastroduodenoscopy. Following TIPS, the patient experienced a rapid rise in serum bilirubin with no evidence of biliary obstruction or hepatic injury. She was determined to have bilhemia, a rare but serious complication of TIPS.

Bilhemia is a rare but potentially lethal condition representing abnormal communication and flow of bile into the bloodstream. We present a case of iatrogenic bilhemia after a percutaneous liver biopsy in a patient with cholangiocarcinoma. The bilio-venous fistula was visualized with percutaneous cholangiography and successfully embolized using coils and the liquid embolic agent Onyx.

As a rare complication of liver injury and certain interventions, bile can enter the bloodstream depending on the pressure gradient, resulting in bilhemia. Its micro-rheological and hemodynamic effects are still unclear. We aimed to study these parameters in experimental bilhemia models.

Portobiliary fistulas are rare but may lead to life-threatening complications. Biliary plastic stent-induced portobiliary fistulas during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography have been described. Herein, we present a case of portal cavernography and recurrent hemobilia after endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography in which a portobiliary fistula was detected in a patient with portal biliopathy.

Bilhemia is very rare and serious complication of percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PBD). Bile leakage occurs into the bloodstream through a fistula between the biliary tree and the hepatic venous system. We report a case of a 45-year-old woman with bilhemia complicated by PBD.
