  • Title: Hepatic haemangioendothelioma presenting with early heart failure in a newborn: treatment with hepatic artery embolization and interferon.
    Author: Fok TF, Chan MS, Metreweli C, Ng PC, Yeung CK, Li AK.
    Journal: Acta Paediatr; 1996 Nov; 85(11):1373-5. PubMed ID: 8955471.
    Abstract:
    We report our management of a newborn presenting in utero with congestive heart failure secondary to a giant hepatic haemangioendothelioma. Control of heart failure was achieved by transcatheter hepatic artery embolization, and rapid regression of the tumor was observed after a course of alpha 1 interferon. The combination of hepatic artery embolization and interferon may be a useful approach in the management of this rare, potentially fatal condition.
