3 cases of severe postoperative hemobilia are reported, one patient with an echinococcus cysticus of the liver, two others after surgical procedures on biliary tract. Diagnostic means as cholangiography, coeliacography, scanning of the liver and endoscopic retrograde cholangiography were not possible because of the massive bleeding. In those cases, if no other sources of bleeding are found, only esophago-gastro-duodenoscopy can leed to the correct diagnosis. In gastrointestinal bleeding after surgical manipulation on the biliary tract, the duodenum and the pancreas, hemobilia is a possible cause.

Disseminated MAC disease occurs mainly in immunocompromised individuals, such as those with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, hematological malignancies, or those positive for anti-interferon-γ antibodies. However, its occurrence in solid organ transplant recipients is uncommon.

Methods: Patients who underwent liver transplantation and intravenous CEUS at Beijing Friendship Hospital, Capital Medical University from June 25, 2020 to December 28, 2022 and were diagnosed with Ischemic-type biliary lesions (ITBLs) by Magnetic Resonance Cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) or Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) or Percutaneous Transhepatic Cholangiography (PTC) were prospectively enrolled. SonoLiver software was used to quantitatively analyze the contrast images, transplanted livers with normal biliary tracts as the control group.
