[Embolization of the hepatic artery in hemangiomas of the liver]
Abstract
Embolization of the proximal part of the hepatic artery was carried out in three patients with hemangioma of the liver who did not meet the criteria for radical surgery. Metal spirals were used for this purpose. Response was observed in all the cases. Patients were followed for 9-36 months. The data obtained suggest that embolization of the hepatic artery is effective and may be used for the treatment of inoperable vascular tumors of the liver.
