The Clinical Effect of Interventional Embolization for 208 Cases of Hepatic Cavernous Hemangioma

Objective To observe the clinical effect of percutaneous hepatic artery super selective catheterization and embolization for hepatic cavernous hemangioma by Pingyangmycin and Iodinated oil.Method We collected the data of 208 patients with hepatic cavernous hemangioma who received arterial injection of pingyangmycin + iodinated oil suspension emulsion embolization in the 2nd Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University from January 2006 to February 2011,and analysed the therapeutic effect of interventional embolization.Results 208 patients were followed up for 3 to 12 months,except 6 patients had no change in the size of hemangioma,the other patients had different degree of decrease in the size of hemangioma,the effective rate was 97.1%.There were 108 patients with the decrease degree of hemangioma size ≥50%.Conclusion Percutaneous hepatic artery super selective catheterization and embolization with oil emulsion of Pingyangmycin and iodin-oil can treat hepatic cavernous hemangioma,and it has such advantages as less complications,faster recovery,relatively cheap costs,safety,minimally invasion.It can be used as preferred treatment method of hepatic cavernous hemangioma.The patients with not ideal treatment effect should be given feasible radical surgery.
