Different operations based on the damage of valves should be chosen.

Clinical analysis of mistakes in treatment of Budd-Chiari syndrome by stent placement in inferior vena cava:a report of 21 cases / 中国普通外科杂志

Objective To investigate the indications for interventional therapy of Budd-Chiari syndrome((B-CS)) and surgical treatment after stent failure. Methods A retrospective analysis of the clinical data of 21 patients with mistakes in treatment of B-CS by stent placement in inferior vena cava(IVC).Results (Among) the 21 cases with mistakes, the indications were inappropriately selected in 6 cases, the main hepatic vein was obstructed by the stent in 1 case, dilated accessory veins were occluded in 10 cases, the stent was (displaced) in 3 cases, and the stent failed to unfold in 1 case. Nineteen cases were converted to operation; of these patients, a shunt was performed in 18 cases, and radical excision of diaphragmatic web of IVC was done in 1 case. Operation was successful in all 19 cases. After shunt procedure in the 18 cases, the free portal pressure significantly decreased(P

Mesocaval C-shunt plus ligation of splenic artery and esophagogastric (devascularization) in the treatment of type II Budd- Chiari syndrome / 中国普通外科杂志

Objective To study a new operative method for treatment of hepatic venous occlasion without (associated) pathologic change of inferior vena cava or long-segment stricture. Methods A total of 44 cases of Budd-chiari syndrome with hepatic venous occlusion without pathologic change or long-segment stricture of (inferior) vena cava underwent combined mesocaval C-shunt, ligation of splenic artery, and esophagogastric (devascularization).Results Pre-shunt portal venous pressure was 36cmH2O(31~45 cmH2O, 1cmH2O=0.0098kPa) and post-shunt pressure fell to 26 cmH2O(21~33 cmH2O),the mean reduction was 10 cmH2O. One patient died of liver failure. A slight degree of hepatic encephalopathy occurred in 2patients who recovered after conservative treatment.Chylorrhea occurred in 4 patients, and it spontaneously disappeared 7d to 3.5months after operation. 39 patients(88.6% follow up) were followed up for 6months to 7years , and there was no case of recurrent bleeding nor hepatic encephalopathy. Ascites disappeared in 31cases,and was markedly reduced in 7 cases .The prosthetic grafts were patent as shown by color Doppler ultra sound in all followed-up patients.Conclusions This operation is simple and effective for B-CS with hepatic venous (occlusion) but not associated with inferior vena caval pathologic change or long-segment stricture.

Endoluminal therapy guading by ultrasonography or plus portosystemic shunts for Budd-Chiari syndrome: a report of 36 cases / 中国普通外科杂志

Objective To evaluate the effect of endoluminal treatment for Budd Chiari syndrome (BCS) .Methods In 36 patients with BCS were treated by inferior vena cava(IVC) dilation and endoluminal stent placement guaded by ultrasonography, including self expanding mental Giaturco stent placement in 33 patients and pure dilation in 3 patients. Portosystemic shunts(PSSs) were followed in 13 patients with hepatic venous occlusion a week after the endoluminal treatment, including splenorenal(S R) shunts in 5 cases,and mesocaval (M C) shunts in 8 cases. Results After endoluminal procedures ,slight heart dysfunction appeared in 3 cases . After shunting ,acute pancreatitis occurred in 1 case, and upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage occurred and finally resulted in death in another case on the 10th day after PSS.All the 36 patients were followed up for 1 month to 8 years. Restenosis of the distal part of stent was found in 1 case 2 years after the operation,hepatic vein occlusion occurred in 1 case 1 year after the treament, hepatoma occurred in 1case 3 years after the treatment,and 1 patient died of C type hepatitis a year later; and 2 cases with infertility had babies 1 year later. All patients had no stent migration or occlusion of shunts .Conclusions Endoluminal therapy guarding by ultrsonography is a convenient, safe and effective method for Budd Chiari syndrome. For patients with hepatic venous occlusions, a portosystemic shunt is recommended.The above mentioned methods provide a feasible and effective means for some kinds of Budd Chiari syndrome.

Prevention and treatment of postoperative recurrence of Budd-Chiari syndrome :a report of 223 cases / 中国普通外科杂志

Objective To investigate the causes,prevention and management principles of postoperative recurrence of Budd Chiari syndrome(BCS).Methods The clinical data of 223 postoperative recurrence BCS patients were analyzed retrospectively,including type Ia in 66 cases,type Ib in 48 cases,type II in 57 cases , type IIIa in 28 cases,and type IIIb in 24 cases. Of them,36 patients underwent two or more operations .Results Secondary operations were all successful.No patient died in the perioperative period. One hundred and eighty two patients were followed up for 6 months to 10 years.In 89.6% of the patients,the results were successful,but the recurrence rate after the reoperation was 6.0%,and 8 patients died postoperatively .Conclusions The main recurrent causes are that indications are not correctly selected and the operative technique is not correct. Correct classification,reasonable selection of the operation method, and adopting an interruptive,matress,and eversive suture for blood vessels anastomosis in the operation are important to prevent the recurrence of BCS.
