Two patients with multiple hepatic carcinoid metastases experienced considerable symptomatic relief after the hepatic artery was embolised with fragments of absorbable gelatin sponge administered through a percutaneous arterial catheter. With adequate pharmacological cover the technique is a safe, effective, and relatively painless treatment for a condition which is usually very difficult to manage.
两名患有多发性肝类癌转移的患者，在通过经皮动脉导管注入可吸收明胶海绵碎片栓塞肝动脉后，症状得到了显著缓解。在有足够药物保障的情况下，该技术对于一种通常很难治疗的病症来说，是一种安全、有效且相对无痛的治疗方法。
