Abstract:
A 41-year-old male patient of Budd-Chiari syndrome associated with membranous obstructions of the retrohepatic inferior vena cava and the left hepatic vein was reported. A radical operation was carried out. The retrohepatic inferior vena cava was reconstructed by a ringed EPTFE patch graft after endovenectomy with the aid of extracorporeal circulation for caval and portal bypasses utilizing cold hepatic perfusion. The patient has been doing well 18 months after the operation.
