  • Title: Arterial embolization of giant hepatic hemangiomas.
    Author: Giavroglou C, Economou H, Ioannidis I.
    Journal: Cardiovasc Intervent Radiol; 2003; 26(1):92-6. PubMed ID: 12522645.
    Abstract:
    Hepatic cavernous hemangiomas are usually small and asymptomatic. They are usually discovered incidentally and only a few require treatment. However, giant hemangiomas may cause symptoms, which are indications for treatment. We describe four cases of symptomatic giant hepatic hemangiomas successfully treated with transcatheter arterial embolization, performed with polyvinyl alcohol particles. There were no complications. Follow-up with clinical and imaging examinations showed disappearance of symptoms and decrease in size of lesions.
