Abstract:
Objective To analyse the recurrence rate of patients with Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) after radical correction.Method We retrospectively analyzed the clinical characters and follow-up of patients who underwent radical correction and suffered recurrence.Patency rate of inferior vena cava (IVC) and hepatic veins (HVs) were examined.We present the causes of recurrence and clarify risk factors for recurrence by survival analysis.Result Among the 102 patients undergoing radical correction,34 patients suffered from postoperative recurrence,including 32 cases of IVC lesions,21 cases of HVs lesions (19 patients suffered concurrently from IVC and HVs lesions).One patient received reoperation,16 patients received balloon angioplasty of IVC or HVs,3 patients received stent implantation,and 14 patients received conservative treatment.Conclusions The recurrence rate is high after radical correction for BCS.Once the abnormal syndrome recurs,the patients can be managed by radical correction,balloon or stent angioplasty.The main causes of recurrence are thrombosis of IVC,compression of caudate lobe,scar contracture,and the risk factors for recurrence are concurrent hypercoagulation status,too short period of postoperative anticoagulation (less than 6 months).
