ABSTRACT
We report the case of a 14-month-old child with Kasabach-Merritt Syndrome, due to a giant liver hemangioma. The therapeutic approach consisted of peripheral transcatheter embolisation of the right hepatic artery with Ivalon microspheres without the addition of thrombogenic material. This procedure brought to a sensible permanent reduction of the size of the liver hemangioma with normalisation of the previous altered coagulation parameters after 6 years of follow-up.
