title: [Budd-Chiari syndrome. Treatment by meso-atrial shunt].
abstract: Tight stenosis or obstruction of the inferior vena cava complicates the treatment of chronic Budd-Chiari syndrome. A possible therapeutic measure is to establish an artificial shunt between the superior mesenteric vein and the right atrium. Shunting is facilitated by using a long, ringed P.T.F.E. (Goretex) prosthesis.
