Answers:
This is only something a Surgeon can effectively answer
they would do the studies, map out the plan of strategy so there would be the least amount of bleeding and biggest rate of success with the hemangioma removal
It depends on your overall level of health. If you are a healthy person without other conditions, they might check a CBC as a baseline to compare against if there is excessive blood loss in surgery (which during an ablation I wouldn't think there would be). If you are a person with other conditions, such as renal, cardiac, etc - they might run a lot of blood work to establish if you are healthy enough for the surgery.
