Abstract
Two patients with homozygous type II familial hypercholemia have had significant improvement by end to side porta-caval shunt. Follow-up is respectively 1 and 4 years. When all the other treatment have failed in lowering blood cholesterol and L.D.L. levels, a portal diversion may help to prevent cardio-vascular atherosclerotic complications in the pediatric age.Entities:
