[Cases of devascularization of the liver in hepatic metastases of carcinoid tumors. Two cases (author's transl)].
The authors report two cases of hepatic artery's ligature in patients suffering from pan-hepatic metastases in carcinoid tumor of the bowels. They have come to believe that the hepatic devascularization (by removing the carcinoid syndrome and associated hepatalgia) offers a more comfortable chance of survival to the patient, giving him often the illusion that he is cured.
