title: [Surgical treatment of Budd-Chiari syndrome and veno-occlusive disease].
abstract: We operated 5 patients with the Budd-Chiari syndrome or veno-occlusive disease between 1984 and 1989 (2 porto-caval shunts, one Warren distal spleno-renal shunt, one meso-atrial shunt and one Le Veen peritoneo-jugular shunt). As liver transplantation is now part of the therapeutic armamentarium for these conditions, this paper reviews retrospectively the indications for surgery in these 5 patients.
