In 6 patients with spontaneous rupture of hepatocellular carcinoma complicating liver cirrhosis, but with no occlusion of the main portal trunk, transcatheter arterial embolization was performed within 7 days of the rupture. All 6 patients were thought to be inoperable because of shock state or severe hepatic dysfunction. In all 6 patients, the progressive decrease in the hematocrit ceased soon after the embolization. Five patients survived for 31-168 days after the embolization; 1 patient who developed septicemia died 10 days later. We conclude that transcatheter arterial embolization is beneficial as a procedure of first choice for ruptured hepatocellular carcinoma when the portal blood flow is maintained.
