Article Synopsis
- HCC rupture is a serious condition linked to blood vessel problems and clotting issues, causing challenges in emergency treatment.
- A successful case was reported of a 66-year-old woman who underwent emergency transarterial embolization (TAE) for her ruptured HCC, showing tumor shrinkage as a positive outcome.
- The findings suggest TAE followed by surgery could be effective for certain patients, highlighting the need for more research to create tailored treatment guidelines based on liver function and patient health.
