Microwave ablation of giant hepatic cavernous hemangiomas.

Abstract:

PURPOSE:This study was designed to explore the safety and efficacy of percutaneous microwave (MW) ablation as an alternative treatment for symptomatic giant hepatic hemangiomas. METHODS:Patients (n = 7; 6 females, 1 male; mean age = 44 years) with symptomatic, giant hemangiomas (n = 8) were treated with ultrasound-guided percutaneous MW ablation and followed for a mean of 18 months. Patient pain was recorded both before and after the procedure according to the 10-point visual analog scale. All patients were treated using one or three gas-cooled 17-gauge antennas powered by a 2.4-GHz generator (Neuwave Medical, Madison, WI). Mean ablation time was 11.6 min. Four patients received hydrodissection to protect the abdominal wall, colon, or gallbladder (5 % dextrose in water, mean volume 900 mL). Immediate postablation biphasic CT of the abdomen was performed, and four of seven patients have undergone delayed follow-up imaging. RESULTS:All ablations were technically successful with no major or minor complications. Average pain score decreased from 4.6 to 0.9 (p < 0.05), and six of seven patients report resolution or improvement of symptoms at 18-month average follow-up (range 1-33 months). Immediately postablation, mean tumor diameter decreased 25 % (from 7.3 to 5.5 cm, p < 0.05) and volume decreased 62 % (from 301 to 113 cm(3), p < 0.05). DISCUSSION:In this series, percutaneous MW ablation was safe, well-tolerated, and effective in markedly shrinking large hepatic hemangiomas and improving symptoms in most patients.
