AI Article Synopsis
- Angiography is the best method for diagnosing haemobilia, which is bleeding in the bile ducts.
- It accurately locates the source of the bleeding and serves as a non-surgical treatment option.
- In a specific case, angiography identified the bleeding sites, and the bleeding was successfully managed through a procedure called transcatheter embolisation.
Article Abstract
Angiography is the definitive diagnostic procedure for the patient with haemobilia. As well as giving precise localisation of the source of the haemorrhage, it provides an effective alternative to surgery for its control. In a case discussed, the bleeding sites were identified by angiography, and the bleeding was controlled by transcatheter embolisation.

Background: Hybrid emergency rooms (ERs) allow computed tomography (CT) scanning, interventional radiology, and surgery all in the same suite. Severe trauma patients with blunt thoracic aortic injury (BTAI) require rapid diagnosis and treatment. Hybrid ERs allow the potential for clinicians to implement multiple therapeutic procedures, including thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR), for these types of conditions without the need to transport the patients.

Background: The Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer staging system classifies hepatocellular carcinoma on the basis of tumor characteristics, liver function, and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status. Hepatocellular carcinoma is divided into five stages, and the treatment options for intermediate-stage hepatocellular carcinoma have evolved in recent years. Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization remains the standard treatment for intermediate-stage (stage B) hepatocellular carcinoma.

Objectives We aim to investigate factors associated with rebleeding and mortality within one month of transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) for spontaneous muscle hematoma (SMH) and the impact of the novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Methods This retrospective analysis included 33 patients who underwent TAE for SMH at a single center between 2012 and 2022. After 2020, eight of these patients had the COVID-19 infection.

Acute coronary occlusion during transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is an unwarranted complication associated with high mortality. The current TAVI practices recommend a multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) evaluation of the aortic valve, the left ventricular outflow tract, and the aortic root to determine the conventional risk factors for coronary obstruction like low-lying coronary ostia and narrow sinuses of Valsalva, mandating prophylactic coronary protection or native valve leaflet modification in high-risk patients. Despite optimal anatomy, acute coronary occlusion can still occur due to multiple mechanisms, one of which is coronary embolism due to thrombus, calcium, or native aortic valve fragments.

This study evaluated transcatheter approach for relieving right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) obstruction using combined non-compliant balloon dilatation of the RVOT and conal artery occlusion in patients with Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF), both uncorrected and post-intra-cardiac repair (ICR) restenosis. A prospective study was conducted from January 2022 to June 2023, including 40 symptomatic patients aged over 12 years with RVOT obstruction in TOF. Exclusion criteria included moderate to severe pulmonary regurgitation.
