Follow up Study of Membranous Budd-Chiari Syndrome Treated By Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty / 实用放射学杂志

ABSTRACT

8 years for 4 cases;5~8 years for 8 cases;3~5 years for 3 cases;less than 1 year for 1 case respectively.12 cases were followed up by color-sonography examination.The remaining 6 cases were followed by mail or phonecall.Results All cases reached clinical cure with relief or diasppearance of relevant symptoms and signs after 2~7 days PTA.88.9%(16/18) of the cases regained obility to labour or return to work.2 cases of the patients had lung infarction and heart failure immediately after the treatment,1 patient had recurrent stenosis and thrombosis after 1 year of PTA.Conclusion For treatment of membranous BCS,PTA should be the first choice.The majority methods of preventing recurrent stenosis and thrombosis are antithrombin application before PTA and adequate angioplasty during PTA.
