Percutaneous, non-operative radio frequency ablation for haemostasis of ruptured hepatocellular carcinoma.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Spontaneous rupture and hemorrhage is a devastating complication of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Results from current therapeutic modalities remain varied. Recent development of percutaneous radiofrequency ablation (RFA) in the management of this condition has shown promise. We describe 2 cases of ruptured HCC in which nonoperative, percutaneous radio frequency ablation (RFA) was successful in achieving hemostasis. The advantageous of RFA over other interventional techniques in the management of ruptured HCC are discussed.

INTRODUCTION The number of liver resections significantly increased worldwide in the last 20 years. In many hepatic tumours, liver resection remains the best therapeutic option. A difficult intraoperative goal is to obtain a safe haemostasis on the transection plane. Technological innovation in recent decades allowed the development of different tools that allow better control of bleeding, fast...

The imaging of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is challenging and plays a crucial role in the diagnosis and staging of the disease. A variety of imaging modalities, such as ultrasound, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and nuclear medicine are currently used in evaluating patients with HCC. Although the best option for the treatment of these cases is hepatic resection or...
