title: [Dorso-cranial liver resection with hepato-atrial anastomosis. An alternative to liver transplantation or the surgical procedure of choice in Budd-Chiari syndrome?].
abstract: Surgery was required for a 23-year-old woman with rapidly progressive reduction in liver function and treatment-resistant ascites due to Budd-Chiari syndrome. A dorsocranial liver resection with hepatoatrial anastomosis was performed. The postoperative course has been satisfactory, demonstrating that this method should be seriously considered in the treatment of Budd-Chiari syndrome.
