Portal cavernography during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography: from bilhemia to hemobilia: Rawad A. Yared, Paraskevas Gkolfakis, Arnaud Lemmers, Vincent Huberty, Thierry Degrez, Jacques Devière, Daniel Blero; Clin Endosc 2023;56(4):521-526.

Portobiliary fistulas are rare but may lead to life-threatening complications. Biliary plastic stent-induced portobiliary fistulas during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography have been described. Herein, we present a case of portal cavernography and recurrent hemobilia after endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography in which a portobiliary fistula was detected in a patient with portal biliopathy. This likely indicates a change in clinical presentation (from bilhemia to hemobilia) after biliary drainage that was successfully treated by placement of a fully covered, self-expandable metallic stent.
