Percutaneous, non-operative radio frequency ablation for haemostasis of ruptured hepatocellular carcinoma

Spontaneous rupture and hemorrhage is a devastating complication of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Results from current therapeutic modalities remain varied. Recent development of percutaneous radiofrequency ablation (RFA) in the management of this condition has shown promise. We describe 2 cases o...
