Biliary leakage complicating hepaticojejunostomy is a therapeutic dilemma for surgeons, gastroenterologist, and interventional radiologist. It is a major cause of postoperative morbidity. Percutaneous biliary intervention techniques have been developed for treating benign post-surgical biliary disease in patients not having severely compromised clinical conditions. Interventional radiology manoeuvres are especially indicated as the first line of treatment if endoscopic procedures are unfeasible for patients due to postsurgical anatomical modifications. We present a case of post-surgical complete hepaticojejunostomy dehiscence that was treated totally by percutaneous techniques with trans-hepatic rescue and hepaticojejunostomy neo-creation.
