[Expert consensus on perioperative management of Budd-Chiari syndrome(2025 edition)]

    Insights

    This expert consensus provides guidelines for managing Budd-Chiari syndrome (B-CS) perioperatively. It standardizes care from preparation through follow-up for improved patient outcomes.

    Area of Science:

    • Hepatology
    • Vascular Surgery
    • Clinical Practice Guidelines

    Background:

    • Budd-Chiari syndrome (B-CS) involves hepatic venous outflow tract obstruction.
    • Interventional or surgical operations are primary treatments for B-CS in China.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To establish standardized perioperative management for Budd-Chiari syndrome.
    • To provide a comprehensive reference for individualized B-CS care.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of an expert consensus by the Budd-Chiari Syndrome and Hepatic Vascular Diseases Professional Committee.
    • Review and synthesis of domestic and international evidence-based medical evidence.
    • Full discussion and modification by domestic experts in related fields.

    Main Results:

    • Standardized preoperative preparation protocols.
    • Defined intraoperative and postoperative management strategies.
    • Guidelines for complication prevention, treatment, and out-of-hospital follow-up.

    Conclusions:

    • The consensus offers a structured approach to perioperative B-CS management.
    • It aims to improve the quality and consistency of care for B-CS patients.
    • Provides a valuable reference for clinicians managing B-CS.
