The treatment of hepatic cavernous hemangioma by selective hepatic arterial embolization .

Objective To explore the effect of the supper selectively hepatic artery embolization and the pingyangmycin lipiodol emulsion(PLE) on the hepatic cavernous hemangioma of liver(CHL). Methods Thirty two patients with hepatic cavernous hemangioma were treated with pingyangmycin through hepatic arteries, and conduits were selectively pluged in the arteries of hepatic cavernous hemangiomea to embolize them with pingyangmycin iodine emulsion. Female 18,male 14 ,average 44 years old(28~62). Diagnosed by US, CT and DSA before operation. Results All patients were operated successfully ,30 patients were followed by US or CT in 1~24 months. There were 25 patients whose tumors decreased more than 50%, and 5 cases more than 30%. Among them 1 case`s tumor vanish completely. and other one didn't decrease. The symptoms of all 30 patients vanished completely in 28, and alleviated in 1.Total efficacy rate was 96.7%(29/30).There was no complication during operation . Conclusion It is the first safe and effective method that treats hepatic cavernous hemangioma with pingyangmycin iodine emulsion by hepatic artery embolization.
