PURPOSE:Rupture of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) following transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) is a rare and life-threatening *** purpose of the present study was to evaluate the utility of emergency embolization for treatment of ruptured HCC following *** AND METHODS:Eight patients developed rupture of tumor after TACE in 1565 patients of HCC from October 2007 to February 2011 were studied *** selective arterial embolization was performed in all 8 patients because of intractable hemorrhage in the peritoneal cavity or around the liver that could not be controlled by conservative *** mean hemoglobin level before embolization was 73.1g/L ±10.4 (mean ±standard deviation).RESULTS:Hepatic angiography did not revealed extravasation of contrast from the tumor in all 8 patients with rupature of HCC following *** selective embolization of feding arteries of the liver tumor,intraperitoneal bleeding from HCC was stopped immediately in all *** mean hemoglobin level after embolization in 24 hours was 10.6g/L ± *** severe complication related to emergency embolization was found after ***:Emergency arterial embolization is effective for hemostasis of ruptured HCC following TACE in patients in hemodynamically unstable condition.
