Percutaneous intrabiliary injection of gelatin sponge slurry for the management of acute hemobilia during biliary interventions: an alternative salvage technique.

Preliminary experience suggests that intrabiliary Gelfoam slurry may represent a potential bridging or salvage maneuver for acute hemobilia in resource-constrained scenarios.

However, because it relies on internal compression rather than definitive vascular repair, and carries potential risks of infectious exacerbation, it should be applied cautiously with strict follow-up and does not replace definitive transcatheter arterial embolization.
