Abstract

Arteriobiliary fistula during transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) is very rare. However, it is vital to manage the arteriobiliary fistula to prevent the life-threatening complications of hemobilia. This study deals with an arteriobiliary fistula identified during the procedure of TACE undertaken for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and managed successfully by embolizing the proximal segmental hepatic artery using microcoil.
