Description

Sofia Malosso Tronconi, João Felipe Federici de Almeida, and Ana Terezinha Guillaumon review catheter-based treatment of giant liver hemangiomas in a two thousand twenty-five systematic review and meta-analysis. These benign vascular tumors can cause pain, compression, bleeding, and clotting when they grow large.

The review pools studies of transarterial embolization, which blocks the tumor's blood supply from inside the vessel. Treated hemangiomas shrank significantly in mean diameter, and severe complications were uncommon. The authors examine which embolization agents were used and how results varied. They conclude the minimally invasive approach is a promising option for patients whose lesions cause symptoms or cannot be removed surgically.
