Therapeutic Interventions

As the manifestations of hemobilia range from minor morbidity to life-threatening hemorrhage, there is a similarly broad range of therapeutic approaches to this problem. Conservative or expectant management is often appropriate for hemodynamically stable patients. As with all types of gastrointestinal bleeds, any underlying coagulopathy should be corrected as needed. Red blood cells and platelets should be transfused when indicated. In many cases, such interventions will be sufficient to stop bleeding. When bleeding persists, a number of interventions should be considered and tailored according to the setting.
