Abstract

Hemobilia is defined as bleeding into the biliary tree from an abnormal communication between a blood vessel and bile duct. It is an uncommon cause of upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage and iatrogenic most of the times. We report a case of hemobilia secondary to percutaneous liver biopsy presenting with classical Quincke's triad in a young lady which was treated with combined biliary balloon sweep thrombectomy and transarterial embolization for complete resolution of symptoms.
