Arterial Bleeding caused by a Dropped Gallstone from a Cholecystoduodenal Fistula

[摘要] Background: A cholecystoduodenal fistula is often caused by gallstones, but rarely causes gastrointestinal bleeding. Interventional radiology or surgery is used when gastrointestinal bleeding is difficult to treat endoscopically, and interventional radiology has been increasingly performed in recent years. Case Report: We report a rare case of arterial bleeding caused by a dropped gallstone from a cholecystoduodenal fistula, with successful treatment using interventional radiology. Conclusion: Reports of gastrointestinal bleeding from an internal biliary fistula with successful treatment using interventional radiology are very rare. This case illustrates the effectiveness of interventional radiology for a rare case of arterial bleeding caused by a dropped gallstone from a cholecystoduodenal fistula.
