Area of Science:

  • Medicine
  • Hepatology
  • Vascular Surgery

Background:

  • Budd-Chiari syndrome encompasses various hepatic venous outflow obstructions.
  • These obstructions cause clinical symptoms of portal hypertension and hepatomegaly.
  • Obstructions occur at three distinct levels, each with unique etiologies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive overview of Budd-Chiari syndrome.
  • To discuss the different etiologies and clinical presentations.
  • To outline current and potential treatment strategies.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on hepatic venous outflow obstruction.
  • Analysis of different obstruction levels and their associated causes.
  • Evaluation of surgical and non-surgical treatment modalities.

Main Results:

  • Budd-Chiari syndrome presents with varied clinical manifestations, from mild to end-stage liver disease.
  • Surgical interventions, such as caval obstruction removal and shunting procedures, are primary treatments.
  • Hepatic transplantation is a life-saving option for patients with end-stage liver failure.

Conclusions:

  • Budd-Chiari syndrome necessitates diverse treatment approaches based on obstruction level and patient condition.
  • Surgical management is crucial for most patients.
  • Liver transplantation offers a definitive solution for advanced cases.
