The 70-year-old suddenly ruptured and bleeding from a liver tumor, and was in shock when admitted to the hospital, which may be life-threatening at any time. The experts found the bleeding point and embolized it through minimally invasive interventional surgery in time, turned the danger into a disaster, and won the opportunity for follow-up treatment for him, which made the elderly family grateful.

In early January, the 76-year-old Father Song suddenly felt pain in his right abdomen at home, bloating and nausea, and rested for a long time without relief, so he rushed to the Houhu Branch of Wuhan Central Hospital for treatment accompanied by his family. Through careful examination and combined with imaging data, the doctor considered that Daddy was caused by the rupture and bleeding of the liver tumor, and there was a large amount of fluid accumulation in the entire abdominal pelvic cavity. At this time, Daddy has developed shock symptoms, the situation is critical, need to stop the bleeding in time, otherwise his life is on the line.

"The old man has never had liver discomfort before, how can he suddenly have a tumor and cause heavy bleeding?" Father Song's family could not believe that the old man's condition was so serious, and they could only pin all their hopes on the medical staff. "We will do our best!" Subsequently, the hospital opened a green channel in the Lake Campus, and experts from the Radiological Intervention Center, Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery, Critical Care Medicine, Oncology and other disciplines were consulted jointly, and the expert team unanimously agreed that it was necessary to successfully stop bleeding through interventional surgery and solve the most serious emergencies at present, so that the elderly could have a glimmer of life.

Chen Yanhao, director of the Radiological Intervention Center, team immediately arranged minimally invasive hepatic artery embolization for the elderly, punctured through the right femoral artery, used a catheter to enter the right hepatic artery through the femoral artery, found the rupture of the lump blood vessel through arteriography, and then plugged into the rupture site through special materials, blocking the rupture point like a fetal patch, and the blood was finally stopped. Subsequently, Father Song was transferred to the Intensive Care Department of the Houhu Branch of the hospital for follow-up close monitoring and active symptomatic treatment, and with the joint efforts of medical staff, Daddy's condition finally stabilized.

Director Chen Yanhao reminded that liver tumor rupture and bleeding is one of the serious complications of liver cancer, the onset is very urgent, the condition is dangerous, if not treated in time, the mortality rate is very high. It is recommended that the public should have regular physical examinations, and it is best to seek medical treatment as soon as possible for clear diagnosis and timely treatment if there are inexplicable symptoms of the body.
