Abstract
- The hepatic hemangioma is the most common benign tumor in the liver. Most hemangiomas are asymptomatic and treatment is not required. Rarely, complications occur due to a hepatic arterioportal shunt through a large high-flow hemangioma. We report a case of recurrent esophageal variceal bleeding despite repeated esophageal variceal ligation (EVL) due to a hepatic arterioportal shunt through a large high-flow hemangioma that was successfully treated with hepatic arterial embolization, in a patient with cirrhosis and end stage renal disease.
