  • Title: [Ligation of the hepatic artery for metastases from a carcinoid tumor].
    Author: Chiche B, Morin Y, Marral O, Caril C.
    Journal: Nouv Presse Med; 1975 Apr 26; 4(17):1279-81. PubMed ID: 50587.
    Abstract:
    Following ligature of the hepatic artery in the treatment of hepatic metastases of a carcinoid tumour of the small bowel, the authors noted a spectacular regression in functional symptoms. Several similar cases are recorded in the literature and similar findings given. The comfort, even though short-lived, which ligation brings justifies its use.
