Preoperative embolization with thermal ablation is effective

Combining preoperative trans-arterial embolization with thermal ablation shows promise in treating large hepatic hemangiomas, achieving a 100% lesion coverage rate. Among 82 patients followed for up to 48 months, minor complications occurred in 65.9% of cases, with no severe complications reported. The median operating time was approximately 79 minutes. This novel approach offers a simpler and safer alternative for managing these benign tumors without any observed tumor growth during follow-up.
