Taiwan's top ballroom dancer Serena Liu passed away on the night of March 22. She had previously undergone surgery for severe aortic stenosis on Feb. 7, but her heart function did not recover, and she passed away due to excessive intracranial pressure which she later developed.


Taipei Veterans General Hospital said Liu developed cerebral venous thrombosis and intracranial hemorrhage at the end of February and beginning of March, increasing the intracranial pressure and forcing doctors to perform a decompressive craniectomy. Her condition improved following surgery, but the intracranial pressure remained an issue and she passed away. Her family issued a statement via the hospital, saying it is grateful to everyone for their concern and encouragement and expressed its gratitude to Liu's medical team.



台北榮總表示，劉真二月下旬及三月初先後發生腦部栓塞與出血，造成腦壓上升進行開顱減壓手術。術後雖一度有起色，仍因為腦壓過高，不幸辭世。醫療團隊深感哀痛與不捨。家屬透過院方表示，這段時間感謝各界關心與鼓勵，對於醫療團隊的努力，也表達感恩之意。
