Analysis of angiographic characteristics of kaposiform hemangioendothelioma and investigation of the value of transcatheter arterial embolization therapy.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This study aimed to analyze the angiographic characteristics of kaposiform hemangioendothelioma (KHE) and investigate the value of transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) therapy.

Methods

The clinical data of infants diagnosed with KHE at the department from June 2013 to June 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Of these, 34 infants received TAE therapy. The efficacy of the treatment was evaluated 4 weeks after the therapy. The angiographic characteristics were analyzed by comparing them with the angiographic characteristics of infantile hemangioma (IH), and the times of TAE therapy and the platelet level after each TAE therapy in infants with KHE were summarized.

Results

The present study showed that the capillary blush of KHE was irregular with an obscur
