PERCUTANEOUS MICROCOIL EMBOLIZATION OF INTRAPERITONEAL INTRAHEPATIC AND EXTRAHEPATIC BILIARY FISTULAS

Abstract

Percutaneous embolization of biliary fistulas provides a management option in cases where conservative treatment has failed and other techniques are relatively contraindicated. The technique is effective and safe in skilled hands, and avoids major surgery. The long-term effect of microcoils in the biliary tree is unknown.
