    Abstract:
    Many patients with haemophilia have been chronically infected with hepatitis virus owing to multiple transfusions and the prevalence of hepatocellular carcinoma will probably increase in this population. We evaluated the safety and complications of radiological intervention for hepatocellular carcinoma in eight patients with haemophilia and cirrhosis. Radiological interventions can be performed safely in all patients with haemophilia. Unexpectedly, the most common complication was bleeding from the gastrointestinal tract. Attention should be paid to this potential problem in order to take appropriate steps to minimize its occurrence.
