In two patients with carcinoid syndrome and liver metastases embolization of the hepatic arteries was successful. In one case re-embolization was accomplished after one year. Embolization was followed by diminuation of serotonin-metabolites in the urine. The clinical symptoms improved, resulting in better quality of the patients lives. Embolization is to be preferred to application of systemic cytotoxic medication in cases of carcinoid syndrome with disseminated liver metastases.
在两名患有类癌综合征和肝转移的患者中，肝动脉栓塞术取得成功。其中1例在1年后进行了再次栓塞。栓塞术后尿中血清素代谢产物减少。临床症状改善，患者生活质量提高。对于伴有弥漫性肝转移的类癌综合征患者，栓塞术优于应用全身性细胞毒性药物。
