【Abstract】Objective  To investigate the diagnostic and therapeutic value of selective angiography and embolization treatment in massive biliary hemorrhage in emergency. Methods  Eleven cases of massive biliary bleeding were selectively angiographied and embolized with thread segment and gelatin sponge grain by Seldinger technique in emergency. Results  Massive biliary bleeding in this series included bleeding after biliary surgery (7), post-laparoscopic cholecystectomy bleeding (1), bleeding from traumatic injury to liver (1), and rupture of huge hepatic cancer (2). There were 9 cases with abnormal angiographic findings including contrast medium leakage (9), tumor vessels and tumor tissue staining (2) and signs of pseudo-aneurysm formation (4). All the bleedings were stopped after emergency intervention but 2 cases with recurrent massive bleeding after 48 hours. Conclusion  Emergency trans-catheter embolization treatment is an effective and safe method for biliary massive hemorrhage. It is also important to keep the biliary tract unobstructed.
