The clinical analysis of interventional therapy for severe hemorrhage of late stage gynecologic tumor

Objective: To evaluate the interventional therapy for severe hemorrhage of late stage gynecological tumor. Methods: In total 26 cases of acute severe hemorrhage of late stage gynecologic tumor were included in this group. Percutaneous internal iliac arterial catheterization was performed, followed by super selected catheterization of the feeding artery of the tumor and the bleeding artery. Then anticancer drugs and embolizing agents (lipiodol + gelfoam) were administrated via catheter. The post-procedure follow up was available after the chemo-embolization therapy. Results: Bleeding ceased and the Hb restored in all 26 cases. Clinical symptoms were improved. The tumors shrunk 50%-90% in size. No complication was encountered. Conclusion: The emergent interventional chemo-embolization therapy is a safe and effective treatment of severe hemorrhage of late stage gynecologic tumor
