Reviewer's report:
A devastating entity such as rupture of HCC is rare in the west with a high
mortality rate.However is important that TACE can rescue patients and offer long
term survival especially in cirrhotics. Although some selection bias exist and the
treatment strategy is not new however a multy-institutional study herein is
valuable at least for the management standpoint and the aggressiveness of
treatment by the groups involved.
Level of interest: An article of importance in its field
Quality of written English: Needs some language corrections before being
