Clinical study of the interventional therapy in Budd-Chiari syndrome / 中国综合临床

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the interventional therapy in Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS). Methods 12 cases with BCS were treated with balloon dilatation angioplasty and placement of stent. The pathologic types were composed of complete occlusion of inferior vena eava(IVC) (9 cases) and IVC stenosis (3 cases). Results Sue-eess was achieved in 12 cases. IVC eavepressure was(4.56±1.51 )kPa before interventional therapy,and (2.51± 0.77 ) kPa after stent implantation. The symptoms disappeared or markedly improved postoperatively. Complications of hepatic venous occlusion occurred in 1 ease after IVC stent 8 months later,and the symptoms relieved after meso-RA shunt. Conclusion The interventional therapy for BCS is very effective and safe to appropriate patient.
