Abstract

This brief report aims to evaluate the treatment outcome of transarterial embolization in ruptured hepatoblastoma complicated with acute intra-abdominal hemorrhage. Three children (mean age 6 years) with high-risk hepatoblastoma presented with rupture and acute intra-abdominal hemorrhage. In addition to aggressive fluid resuscitation and blood product support, super-selective embolization of the arteries with active bleeding or pseudoaneurysm was performed using calibrated gelfoam particles, with a technical success rate of 100%. Hemodynamic status and hemoglobin level were normalized in all patients within 2 days postembolization. The 30-day survival rate was 100%. No major complication was detected apart from mild elevation of alanine transaminase.
