  • Title: Treatment of Kasabach-Merritt syndrome by embolisation of a giant liver hemangioma.
    Author: Billio A, Pescosta N, Rosanelli C, Zanon GF, Gamba PG, Savastano S, Coser P.
    Journal: Am J Hematol; 2001 Feb; 66(2):140-1. PubMed ID: 11421294.
    Abstract:
    We report the case of a 14-month-old child with Kasabach-Merritt Syndrome, due to a giant liver hemangioma. The therapeutic approach consisted of peripheral transcatheter embolisation of the right hepatic artery with Ivalon microspheres without the addition of thrombogenic material. This procedure brought to a sensible permanent reduction of the size of the liver hemangioma with normalisation of the previous altered coagulation parameters after 6 years of follow-up.
