Abstract: Objective To investigate the clinical value of emergent transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) in combination with sequential resection or conserved intraperitoneal hyperthermic perfusion chemotherapy for the treatment of ruptured hepatocellular carcinoma.Methods Thirty cases of ruptured hepatocellular carcinoma that were diagnosed and treated from January 2015 to June 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into a surgical treatment group (10 cases) and a conservative treatment group (20 cases). The 1-, 2-, 3- and 5-year survival rates of the two groups were compared.Results The 1-year survival rate of the surgical treatment group was 70%, which was significantly higher than that of the conservative treatment group (35%). The 2-year, 3-year and 5-year survival rates of the surgical treatment group were 40%, 20% and 10%, which were 0% in the conservative treatment group. The long-term survival rate of the surgical group was significantly higher than that of the conservative treatment group.Conclusion For patients with ruptured hepatocellular carcinoma that have surgical indication, emergent TAE combined with sequential surgical resection followed by postoperative intraperitoneal hyperthermic perfusion chemotherapy and other combined treatments can achieve satisfactory prognosis.
