[Radical operation for Budd-Chiari syndrome under extracorporal circulation with deep hypothermia and circulatory pause].
The authors designed a new operation for the treatment of Budd-Chiari syndrome under deep hypothermia anesthesia with extracorporeal circulation, opening the superhepatic inferior vena cava (IVC) when the circulation was paused. Then the diseased focuses of IVC and HVs were resected under direct bloodless vision. After the incision of IVC was sutured, the normal circulation restored. From September 1993 to November 1995, 11 cases were treated in our hospital. All patients are well postoperatively, and followed up from 5 to 33 months. Ultrasonography revealed patent IVC and hepatic veins in all cases.
