Description
Songming Ding and colleagues present a 2026 case report on bleeding into the bile duct found during an emergency scope. Hemobilia means bleeding from the bile tree into the gut. It is rare and can be deadly, and blood-thinning drugs raise the risk, yet drug-linked cases are seldom reported.
Their patient was a 73-year-old woman with past bile duct work and long aspirin use. She had bile duct infection from stones. A planned scope after a week off aspirin became an emergency when severe belly pain struck. The scope found clots blocking the duct opening. Clearing clots, removing stones, and placing a drain settled her without vessel or open surgery.
