Useful interventional thrombolytic and anticoagulant therapy for thrombosis due to embolization (TAE) in Budd-Chiari syndrome.
Transarterial embolization given for hepatoma in a patient with Budd-Chiari syndrome resulted in hepatic infarction and inferior vena cava thrombosis. Transarterial membranotomy and repeated infusion of thrombolytic agents and anticoagulants directly in the thrombus brought about improvement of the circulation surrounding the liver and IVC, and recovery from hepatic failure.
