title: Percutaneous transluminal balloon angioplasty in suprahepatic IVC obstruction--Budd-Chiari syndrome.
abstract: Encouraging results of Transluminal Angioplasty for Budd-Chiari Syndrome due to obstruction of Suprahepatic inferior vena cava have been reported in the last decade. We present our experience with two such patients, treated with balloon dilatation producing dramatic clinical improvements and control of disease on follow-up.
