Objective  To analyze and explain how to treat 1 patient with post-ERCP hemobilia based on best clinical evidence.
Methods  We used EST and EPBD, ENBD, Hemobilia as key words to search MEDLINE (1978 ~ 2004) and CBMdisc(1978 ~ 2004) to find the best clinical evidence and evaluated the quality of evidence.
Results  According to the evidence, we found that endoscopic papillary balloon dilation (EPBD) or endoscopic nasobiliary drainage ( ENBD ) may be more effective and better tolerated in the treatment ofpost-ERCP hemobilia. Our patient did not receive sufficient medical treatment after hemobilia. He was not given a general assessment before surgery including liver function tests. As a result, the patient died of liver failure and its complications.
Conclusions  We should treat such patients promptly and efficiendy after hemobilia. We should also evaluate their general condition properly before the operation.
