A 27-day-old baby boy was diagnosed with hepatoblastoma while being treated for a cold in the hospital. The huge tumor occupied almost the entire right side of the baby’s liver, which made the situation very critical, but the risk of surgical resection was very high, and the baby was extremely vulnerable to death due to hemorrhage. When the parents were at their wits’ end and even prepared for the worst, Dr. Pansilin of Qingdao Women’s and Children’s Hospital saved Liangliang’s life with two spring plugs the size of a grain of rice. Dr. Pansilin analyzing Liangliang’s condition At the end of December 2011, his parents brought Liangliang to Qingdao Women’s and Children’s Hospital for treatment of a cold. During the examination, the doctor found that Liangliang’s belly was bulging like a ball, and he could even see blue blood vessels on his belly. Liangliang’s rapid breathing also made the doctor feel that the child is not just suffering from a cold. Sure enough, the ultrasound examination showed that Liangliang liver has a huge tumor, and occupies the right side of the abdominal cavity. In the end, the hospital’s general surgery experts diagnosed Liangliang with hepatoblastoma, although the tumor can be removed through surgery, but the risk is very high, and a large amount of blood transfusion is required during the operation. Because the liver is very rich in blood vessels, easy to cause hemorrhage during the operation, the slightest slowness in stopping bleeding will bleed to death. “The blood in the body of such a big child is about 500-600ml, and the amount of blood transfusion during the operation should be more than 1000ml, which is about twice the amount of his own blood, and the risk is very high.” Heart Center Dr. Pansilin told reporters. “This family and I are old folks.” Dr. Pansilin said, the child’s parents know that the risk of surgery is very high, and even made the worst intentions, and then found as a hometown of him to see if you can and the main surgeon “say hello”. Dr. Pansilin through the exchange of general surgery experts, agreed that the risk of surgery can be avoided through interventional therapy, thus avoiding open surgery. After thorough and meticulous preoperative preparations, on December 27, Dr. Pansilin implemented hepatoblastoma trophoblastic vascular occlusion for Liangliang in the catheterization room: he firstly extended the catheter into one of the arteries at the root of Liangliang’s thigh, and found that the child’s right kidney was obviously compressed by the hepatoblastoma and shrunken, and there were two blood vessels supplying blood to the hepatoblastoma, both of them were originated from the right hepatic artery. Subsequently, Dr. Pansilin wound the catheter into the trophoblastoma’s trophoblastic artery, and chose two rice-sized spring coils to be implanted in it, so as to form an embolism. Dr. Pansilin said, many people are afraid of getting blood clots, and Liang Liang’s case is to take the initiative to create blood clots, by “blocking” the supply of nutrients to the blood vessels, thus “starving” the hepatoblastoma. The half-hour surgery process was very smooth, Dr. Pansilin told the reporter, after the operation, when press Liangliang’s abdomen again, he could obviously find that the hepatoblastoma began to soften. Because of the lack of blood supply in the bright body of the large tumor is in a hungry state, the gradual necrosis is absorbed will cause fever, so now the child is still some low fever. However, Dr. Pansilin also said that this continuous fever is a normal phenomenon, and will not affect the child’s body, and now Liangliang’s stomach has obviously become softer and smaller, and then recover for a period of time will be able to recover and leave the hospital.
