Abstract：Objective To evaluate the short-term efficacy and safety of thermosensitive hydrogel used in emergency trans-catheter arterial chemoembolization(TACE)for hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)rupture bleeding.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 21 patients with HCC rupture bleeding who underwent emergency TACE with ther-mosensitive hydrogel.Hemostasis was evaluated based on clinical symptoms,laboratory tests,and imaging examinations.Postop-erative adverse reactions and events were observed and assessed using the NCI-CTC 3.0 standards.Results All patients were successfully completed the emergency TACE,with a short-term hemostasis success rate of 100%.Postoperative adverse reactions mainly included pain,fever,and gastrointestinal reactions,which were relatively mild.The average AFP levels significantly de-creased compared to pre-treatment levels.Conclusion Emergency TACE with thermosensitive hydrogel for HCC rupture bleed-ing is safe and feasible,with significant short-term efficacy.
