Surgical shunting and liver transplantation offer over 75% survival for Budd-Chiari syndrome patients. Management should consider symptoms, anatomy, and surgical risk for optimal outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Hepatology
  • Vascular Surgery
  • Transplantation Medicine

Background:

  • Budd-Chiari syndrome involves hepatic venous outflow obstruction.
  • Historically managed with shunting, new options like TIPS and transplantation exist.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate outcomes of current Budd-Chiari syndrome treatments.
  • Assess efficacy of shunting, TIPS, and liver transplantation.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 54 Budd-Chiari syndrome patients over 20 years.
  • Analysis of treatment strategies including surgical shunting, TIPS, and liver transplantation.

Main Results:

  • Shunting achieved 75% 5-year survival; 85% symptom relief in long-term survivors.

  • Mesoatrial shunts had 69% secondary patency; mesocaval shunts had 85%.
  • Liver transplantation demonstrated good survival, with 5 of 6 recipients alive.

    • Conclusions:

    • Shunting and transplantation provide at least 75% 5-year survival.
    • Treatment selection depends on clinical symptoms, anatomy, and surgical risk.
    • Highly selected patients may benefit from alternative therapies.
