Clinical Observation of the Interventional Therapy for Liver Hemangioma: 37 Cases Report

Objective To observe the clinical effect of percutaneous hepatic artery superselective catheterization and embolization for liver hemangioma.Method 37 patients of liver hemangioma were performed superselective catheterization and embolization via hepatic artery with ultra-fluid lipiodol and bleomycin A5.Results 31 cases were embolized one time and the other 6 cases twice.During the 2 to 12 months follow-up,the tumor size was reduced more than 50% in 21 cases,20%～50% in 9 cases,and less than 20% in 7 cases without serious complication.Conclusion The percutaneous hepatic artery super-selective embolization by ultra-fluid lipiodol and bleomycin A5 is an effective therapy for liver hemangioma.
