Abstract

Objective To investigate the therapeutic effects of pingyangmycin lipiodol emulsion(PLE) embolization to treat cavernous hemangioma of liver(CHL). Methods Six patients with CHL were embolized by intra arterial PLE. The changes of tumor diameter were measured and compared before and after the embolization. The relative clinical symptoms and complications were observed. Results The tumor diameter significantly decreased after PLE embolization( P 0.05).The relative clinical symptoms were significantly released. No severe complications happened. Conclusion It is suggested that PLE intra hepatic arterial embolization is effective and safe for treating CHL.
