Liver hemostasis with high-intensity ultrasound: repair and healing.

Objective: Previous studies have shown that high-intensity focused ultrasound can effectively control bleeding from injuries of liver, spleen, and blood vessels. This study investigated long-term hemostasis and tissue repair after high-intensity focused ultrasound treatment in liver.

Methods: A total of 21 rabbits were randomly assigned to 2 groups: high-intensity focused ultrasound treatment (n = 14) and sham treatment (n = 7).
