PORTACAVAL SHUNT IN HYPERLIPOPROTEINqMIA [PDF]
Abstract A 12-year-old girl with homozygous type-II hyperlipoproteinaemia, which was refractory to medical treatment, had significant improvement in her serum lipid abnormalities during a trial of parenteral hyperalimentation. Subsequently, end-to-side portacaval shunt caused striking reduction of the serum-cholesterol and low-density (beta ...
