The transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt is a rising interventional procedure with multiple indications and high technical success but with risks of biliary injuries, an underreported scenario. We present an 11-year-old patient with biliary injury with a leak, biloma formation, and biliary obstruction caused by the percutaneous procedure. Interventional radiology drainages addressed these complications by resolving the leak and biloma. These biliary complications in percutaneous procedures and their management are rarely reported in the medical literature, making their management not standard. We highlight drainage management and the importance of sharing it to add experience to this clinical scenario and encourage sharing cases with similar diagnoses.
