[Late results (10 years) after complete arterialization of the cirrhotic liver].
The authors present the results obtained after 10 years in two patients with hepatic cirrhosis in whom arterialization was carried out, of the liver, in association with a portocaval, or as an isolated intervention. These 2 cases represent the longest post-operative follow-ups of a group of 29 patients in whom hepatic arterilization was performed. The authors have used an original procedure of arterialization through the re-permeabilized ombilical vein. In the paper are given indications on the method on the basis of the experience acquired between 1965 and 1976.
