    Area of Science:

    • Hepatobiliary Surgery
    • Vascular Surgery
    • Interventional Radiology

    Background:

    • Liver hemorrhage presents significant clinical challenges, often requiring urgent intervention.
    • Conventional hemostasis methods can be insufficient or unsafe in managing severe liver bleeding.
    • Hepatic artery ligation (HAL) has been historically underutilized for liver hemorrhage control.

    Observation:

    • A series of eight patients with diverse causes of liver hemorrhage were treated with HAL.
    • Indications included ruptured hepatic tumors, spontaneous liver rupture, post-traumatic bleeding, hematobilia, hepatic artery aneurysm, and post-biopsy hemorrhage.
    • HAL was employed when conventional hemostasis techniques failed.

    Findings:

    • Hepatic artery ligation proved highly effective in controlling hemorrhage across all presented cases.

  • The study highlights the efficacy of HAL as a primary or salvage treatment for liver bleeding.
  • Compared to packing and mass suture, HAL demonstrated superior safety and effectiveness.

    • Implications:

    • HAL should be considered a primary, effective, and safe treatment modality for liver hemorrhage.
    • Less effective and potentially unsafe methods like packing and mass suture should be reconsidered.
    • This approach may reduce the need for more extensive liver resections in specific hemorrhage scenarios.
