A case of hemobilia caused by a pseudoaneurysm resulting in obstructive cholangitis in a patient who underwent plastic stent placement for pancreatic cancer (with video).

ABSTRACT: Hemobilia, or hemorrhage within the biliary system, is an uncommon cause of stent obstruction associated with bile duct strictures that are rarely observed with plastic stents. Reports of a pseudoaneurysm as a cause of hemobilia after plastic stent placement are also rare.
