Objective: PPH is usually unpredictable; and such fast, urgent and sudden massive life-threating hemorrhage. This study is to assess the efficacy of transarterial embolization (TAE) in treating severe PPH in a single institution over a period of 20 years.
Materials And Methods: From January 2000 to October 2019, all women with acute PPH more than 1500 cc and/or DIC were enrolled in this retrospective study. These women were divided into two groups according to whether they have received TAE as the second-line treatment. Group 1 (n = 27) included women without receiving TAE from January 1, 2000 to October 31, 2009, and group 2 (n = 30) included those who receiving TAE from November 1, 2009 to October 31, 2019.
Results: The overall success rate of TAE in control the PPH and preserved the uterus is 80%. The hemoglobin 12 h after PPH in group 2 is significantly lower than in group 1 (7.64 ± 1.6 vs. 8.58 ± 1.9, respectively. P = 0.05). Total unit of packed red blood cell (pRBC) transfusion is significantly higher in the group 2 than group 1 (9.8 ± 5.7 vs. 6.8 ± 3.9; p = 0.03). The rate of hysterectomy is significantly higher in group 1 than group 2 (46.7 vs. 20%; p < 0.001).
Conclusion: In conclusion, TAE is safe and effective in control bleeding in PPH with a high success rate to preserve uterus and prevent DIC. TAE should be routinely used as a secondary line of treatment during PPH in all hospitals.

Background: Numerous studies have demonstrated limited survival benefits of transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) alone in the treatment of intermediate-stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) beyond up-to-seven criteria. The advent of immunotherapy, particularly immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), has opened new avenues for HCC treatment. However, TACE combined with ICIs has not been investigated for patients with intermediate-stage HCC beyond the up-to-seven criteria.

Objective: To investigate the clinical efficacy of comprehensive treatment focusing on transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) for postoperative liver metastasis in patients with gastric cancer and analyze the factors influencing prognosis.
Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 116 patients who developed liver metastasis after gastric cancer surgery and were admitted to Gansu Provincial Cancer Hospital between January 2018 and February 2020. The observation group, consisting of 62 patients, received TACE with fluorouracil (FU) + irinotecan (CPT-11) + oxaliplatin (OXA) and moderate lipiodol embolization.

Spontaneous bleeding into soft tissues was a common complication of anticoagulant therapy among critically ill patients during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study sought to evaluate the impact of different treatment methods on survival among COVID-19 patients with active or self-resolved spontaneous bleeding into soft tissues. Methods used to treat CT-confirmed spontaneous hematomas in COVID-19 patients included nonoperative management (NOM), angiography (AG) with transarterial embolization (TAE) and open surgery (OS).

Objectives: Body composition assessment includes the parameter skeletal muscle mass, subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissue (SAT and VAT). The purpose of this study was to elucidate associations of body composition parameters with mortality in patients with acute bleeding undergoing transarterial embolization (TAE).
Methods: A mixed cohort of patients from 2018 to 2022 with acute bleeding requiring treatment with a TAE was retrospectively evaluated.
