Management and outcomes of carcinoid heart disease with liver metastases of midgut neuroendocrine tumours

Conclusions
We observed a high postoperative mortality rate and baseline right-sided heart failure was associated with worse outcome. In surviving patients, a positive right ventricular remodelling was observed. Prospective, multicentre studies are warranted to better define the management strategy and to identify biomarkers associated with outcome in CHD.
