Treatment of Kasabach-Merritt syndrome by embolisation of giant liver hemangioma
We report the case of a 14-month-old child with Kasabach-Merritt Syndrome, due to a
giant liver hemangioma. The therapeutic approach consisted of peripheral transcatheter
embolisation of the right hepatic artery with Ivalon microspheres without the addition of
thrombogenic material. This procedure brought to a sensible permanent reduction of the
size of the liver hemangioma with normalisation of the previous altered coagulation
parameters after 6 years of follow-up. Am. J. Hematol. 66:140\u2013141, 200
