[A case of surgical treatment of Budd-Chiari syndrome].
A 37-year-old man was admitted to our hospital for evaluation and surgical treatment of Budd-Chiari syndrome. He underwent a radical operation (endovenectomy and patch dilatation) with femoro-femoral assist bypass. The inferior vena cava (IVC) showed narrowing just below the diaphragm, and its lumen was completely obliterated with fibrous tissue. The fibrous strand was partially resected, and the IVC was closed by Xeno-medica pericardial patch. The patient has been doing well after the operation.
