|January 1, 1980
Abstract:
The first known use of the H2-receptor antagonist cimetidine (Tragamet) in a case of a Meckel's diverticulum containing heterotopic gastric mucosa with ileal ulcertaion and hemorrhage is reported. The interim use of cimetidine facilitated the performance of elective diverticulectomy for the indication of life-threatening hemorrhage.
