Embolization of Liver Hemangiomas

In infants, the embolization of liver hemangiomas with congestive heart failure demonstrates therapeutic efficiency by the rapid resolution of heart failure. This is because of the collaterals between the hepatic artery and the hepatic veins. In adults, heart failure due to a giant hemangioma is very rare and the most common indication in adults is a kind of pain in the trunk. The expectation f...

Surgical Management for Symptomatic Giant Liver Hemangiomas: A Meta-Analysis.

OBJECTIVE To conduct a meta-analysis of reported evidence on surgical management for symptomatic giant liver hemangiomas. METHODOLOGY A systematic literature search was conducted to identify studies on adult patient surgeries for symptomatic giant liver hemangiomas from January 2009 to July 2015. The primary outcome measures included postoperative symptom resolution, mortality, complications,...

Preoperative arterial embolization of large liver hemangiomas.

PURPOSE We aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of preoperative selective intra-arterial embolization (PSIAE) in the surgical treatment of large liver hemangiomas. METHODS Data of 22 patients who underwent resection of large liver hemangiomas were retrospectively analyzed. PSIAE was performed in cases having a high risk of severe blood loss during surgery (n=11), while it was not appl...

Transarterial Coil Embolization of a Symptomatic Posttraumatic Plantar Pseudoaneurysm

Posttraumatic pseudoaneurysms of the lateral plantar artery are rare. We report the case of a 31-year-old woman with a painful pseudoaneurysm of the lateral plantar artery resulting from a deep plantar cut injury. The pseudoaneurysm was successfully treated by performing a transarterial "frontdoor-backdoor" coil embolization technique, which is a minimally invasive alternative to conventional l...
