A report of 12 cases of congenital hepatic hemangioma and literature review
Large CHHs tend to be complicated with refractory congestive heart failure, likely due to tumor size and intra-tumor arteriovenous shunt. Propranolol is effective for CHHs with stable hemodynamics but has a slow onset of action, making it less suitable for cases complicated with CHF. Surgical resection is effective and recommended for large CHHs with stable hemodynamics, while percutaneous hepatic hemangioma embolization is advised for unstable cases.
