Description
Summary:ABSTRACT Budd–Chiari syndrome is a rare disorder characterized by hepatic vein obstruction, with an incidence of 1 in 100,000. It can be diagnosed through imaging studies and initially managed with anticoagulants. Acute Budd–Chiari syndrome can be treated with thrombolysis to dissolve blood clots obstructing hepatic veins. Venous obstructions in Budd–Chiari syndrome can be fixed through angioplasty or venous stenting to restore blood flow. Liver decompression can be achieved with TIPS, and severe cases may require liver transplantation.
