Description
Pagani, Tasca, De Vincenti, and Fedi report using heat ablation to stop bleeding from a ruptured liver tumor, in a case report from twenty twenty-four. Spontaneous rupture of liver cancer is rare but can kill quickly. Best management is still debated among specialists. Their patient is a seventy-four-year-old man with cirrhosis in hemorrhagic shock.
Scans confirm the rupture, and emergency surgery follows. Standard hemostasis fails in the operating room. Given instability, poor liver reserve, and multifocal tumor, the team turns to ultrasound-guided ablation. Heat seals the bleeding site successfully. The patient recovers in intensive care and returns to the ward in two days. The authors back ablation for unstable cases.
