ObjectiveTo explore the clinical efficacy of transcatheter arterial embolization or transcatheter arterial embolization combined with percutaneous transhepatic sclerotherapy injection for hepatic cavernous hemangioma with different blood supply.
MethodsEighty-six patients with hepatic cavernous hemangioma with different blood supply received femoral artery pingyangmycin iodized oil embolization or transcatheter arterial embolization combined with percutaneous transhepatic injection of pingyangmycin iodized oil embolization from February 2004 to April 2013.
ResultsForty-five cases (52.3%) of tumor decreased by over 50%; 26 (30.2%) decreased by about 20% to 50%; 11 (12.8%) decreased by less than 20%; and 4 (4.7%) had no significant change in the tumor diameter. Patients did not have serious complications.
ConclusionThe effect of individualized intervention for hepatic cavernous hemangioma with different blood supply is obvious, and it is a safe and effective therapeutic method.
