- Abstract:
- Massive splenomegaly and ascites production with hypoproteinemia and hypocoagulability was observed in a 15-year-old boy after extended right hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Angiography disclosed a kinking of the left hepatic vein immediately before the junction with the inferior vena cava. Ascites disappeared completely, and laboratory values normalized after placement of a 3-cm long balloon expandable stent. The current case shows that Budd-Chiari syndrome caused by hepatic outflow obstruction after major hepatic surgery can be managed effectively by percutaneous stent placement.
