[Selective ligation of the hepatic artery in treatment of post-traumatic hemobilia. Case report].

Abstract

A case of post-traumatic haemobilia in a 15-yr-old boy is presented. The clinical picture is described, together with the treatment adopted (selective ligation of the right hepatic artery). A brief account is given of the reasons underlying the choice of this approach. Stress is laid on the essential and soundness of selective angiography in the evaluation of such cases.
