To assess efficiency and to determine prognostic factors in emergency embolization for intraperitoneal hemorrhage from hepatocellular carcinoma we retrospectively analyzed 12 consecutive procedures. In order to evaluate the extension of tumor thrombus in the intrahepatic portal system before embolization, a portal perfusion rate was defined as the relative patency of the segmental portal veins demonstrated at arteriography. Serum bilirubin level and portal perfusion rate were correlated with length of survival. Successful hemostasis was achieved in all patients. Mean length of survival was 149 days. Two patients are still alive 545 and 195 days, respectively, after the procedure. A significant correlation (p = 0.005) between portal perfusion rate and length of survival was obtained. There was no correlation between serum bilirubin level and prognosis. Emergency embolization is an effective treatment in patients with intraperitoneal hemorrhage from hepatocellular carcinoma. Prognosis depends of portal perfusion rate.
