Abstract: Two cases of hepatic cavernous hemangioma underwent transcatheter arterial embolization and the bile duct damage occurred after operation.Chemical cholecystitis developed in one case,gallbladder necrosis in another and hilar bile duct stricture occurred in both cases.Thirty reported cases of destructive damage of bile duct induced by transcatheter arterial embolization were found from searching PubMed databases and CNKI net.The main complications included acute cholecystitis,hepatonecrosis,biliary cirrhosis and bile duct damage.The literature review indicates that thanscatheter arterial embolization may cause severe bile duct damage and should be chosen and operated with caution.
