Abstract: Objective To explore clinical effect of real-time ultrasound-guided percutaneous radiofrequency ablation hepatic cavernous hemangioma. Methods Ultrasound-guided percutaneous radiofrequency ablation was conducted 22 lesions in 19 patients with hepatic cavernous hemangioma were given multiple over lapping ablation (55 RFA sessions, average 2.9 sessions per patient). Results Follower-up observation in 19 patients for 6-96 (44 ± 28) months showed a complete response in 16 patients and a partial response 3 patients by one mission of percutaneous radiofrequency ablation, effective rate (CR% + PR%) being 100%. The hepatic cavernous hemangiomas decreased by a mean of 79.8% (80.2%-92.1%) in diameter. The average length of stay was 8.8 days. Conclusions PRFA has characteristic of minimally invasion, safeness and effective therapy for HCH in properly selected patients by experienced hands.
