Abstract:
Objective To investigate the features of transcatheter selective hepatic arteriography and efficacy of embolization in hepatic hemangioma. Methods Twenty-six patients of hepatic hemangioma underwent transcatheter selective hepatic arteriography and embolization with Lipiodol-ultrafluida as well as Pingyangmycin, and were followed-up for 3 - 12 months after treatment. Results The popcorn-like tumor stain sign and early fill-in and persistant staining sign of hepatic arterial angiography were observed in all patients before embolization. After one time of embolization, the tumor size decreased more than 25% in 22 patients (84.62%), less than 25% in 4 patients. No severe complication occurred. Conclusion Transcatheter selective hepatic arteriography and embolization is a favorable method of diagnosis and treatment for hepatic hemangioma.
