Successful long-term results (> 5 years) of superselective transarterial chemoembolization in symptomatic/enlarging liver hemangiomas: a paradigm shift at a hepatopancreatobiliary surgery unit

Key Points

• Successful long-term results demonstrate the effectiveness of superselective transarterial chemoembolization in treating symptomatic hemangiomas.
• Patients showed improved quality of life scores and varying definitions of treatment success were noted after treatment.
• Assessment included patients with symptomatic liver hemangiomas and evaluated their quality of life over a timeframe of more than five years.
• Future directions may emphasize the need for clearer success definitions and tailored approaches for different types of hemangiomas.
