Abstract:
ObjectiveTo evaluate the effect of interventional endovascular treatment for Budd-Chiari syndrome. MethodsIn 15 cases of Budd-Chiari syndrome, repatency of the obstructive inferior vena cava was successfully carried out by percutaneous transluminal balloon dilatation first, and then self-expanding stents was placed in 13 patients. In 4 patients with complete obliteration of the hepatic veins, "H" graft mesocaval shunts were performed one week later. ResultsMild heart dysfunction occurred in one case after endovascular intervention.Patients were followed-up from 2 to 42 months postoperatively. Except one re-stenosis distal to the stent, no stent migration and thromboembolization in shunting grafts occurred. The symptoms of portosystemic hypertension were relieved significantly. Conclusions Budd-Chiari syndrome could be effectively treated by interventional endovascular procedures.
