[Budd-Chiari syndrome and membranous obstruction of the suprahepatic inferior vena cava. Treatment by percutaneous intraluminal angioplasty].
A 38-year-old woman, suffering from a Budd-Chiari syndrome due to membranous obstruction of the inferior vena cava, has been treated by percutaneous trans-luminal angioplasty. The result is excellent six months after. The permeability of the vena cava has been studied by manometry and cavography. This innocuous procedure seems worth while in the treatment of Budd-Chiari syndrome with membranous obstruction of the inferior vena cava.
