Cardiovasc Intervent Radiol. 1986;9(3):154-7. doi: 10.1007/BF02577927.

Abstract

The angiographic features of infantile hepatic hemangioendothelioma are discussed as well as the role of hepatic artery embolization in its management when more conservative measures have failed. A unique case with portal vein supply of the tumor is presented, and the impact of this angiographic feature is discussed.
