title: [Therapeutic embolization of infantile hemangioendothelioma of the liver].
abstract: A distinct syndrome in infantile hemangioendothelioma consist of high-output congestive heart failure, hepatomegaly and cutaneous hemangiomas. Early therapy aimed at reduction of the shunt is essential if life is to be saved once cardiac failure becomes manifest. We report a case of infantile hemangioendothelioma with massive A-V and P-V shunt successfully treated by transcatheter embolization.
