Objective To investigate the value of lidocaine in interventional therapy for liver hemangioma. Methods Thirty-six patients with liver hemangioma were divided into group A (
n
=19) receiving lidocaine prior to transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE)
then the emulsion of pingyangmycin
lidocaine and iodized oil; group B (
n
=17) receiving the emulsion of pingyangmycin and iodized oil except lidocaine. We observed that the reaction of all patients after TAE and how much the hemangioma was filled. Results The rate of serious complications was 10.5% in group A and 41.2% in group B. The hemangioma filling with emulsion was 100% in group A and 79.2% in group B. Conclusion Intraarterial pharmacotheraphy of lidocaine in interv
entional therapy for liver hemangioma may promote the chance of success and reduce serious complications
