| Core Tip |
Biliary bleeding after endoscopic pigtail plastic stent insertion is a rare but potentially fatal complication. Transarterial embolization (TAE) is a minimally invasive procedure that offers effective treatment for pseudoaneurysm. We report here a case of biliary bleeding caused by long-term placement of a pigtail plastic stent, which was inserted without removal of common bile duct stones due to the patient’s age; the TAE treatment was successful. This case report will help similar patients yet to be encountered but likely to increase in number due to ageing of the world’s population.
