Hemobilia: an unusual complication of the intrahepatic intubation of the biliary ducts.

Hemobilia, occurring as a complication in the intrahepatic intubation of biliary digestive anastomosis, carried out according to the Saypol and Kurian technique, is reported. It is postulated that this complication can occur when anatomic variations of the artery related to the biliary duct in either the anterior or posterior position are present.
