- 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.(Korean
