Abstract
Posttraumatic bilhemia complicating liver trauma has been managed surgically so far. A case report of a biliary-venous fistula resulting from blunt hepatic trauma managed successfully by percutaneous drainage is presented. A catheter was placed in the right hepatic lobe for reducing intrahepatic pressure. This procedure was followed by a dramatic decrease of bilirubin blood level. This management emphasizes the role of interventional radiology in the treatment of complicated blunt hepatic trauma.Entities:
