[Clinical effects of perfusing drugs into hepatic artery to promote blood circulation in late stage of hepatocarcinoma].
The sophisticated technology of hepatic artery catheterization was used since 1990 in treating exacerbated patient after chemotherapy, 4-8 ml Salvia miltiorrhizae composita injection with 20 ml of 10% glucose was used. The same Chinese herbal drug based on Syndrome Differentiation as well as Western drug to relieve the symptoms was used in both treated and control groups. After two treatment courses, the symptom of treated group was relieved, the tumor mass shrunk and the biochemical parameters improved, the total effective rate was 65%, while that of control group was 25%, the difference between two groups was very significant, P < 0.01. This result suggests that is one of effective methods which worth further investigation.
