title: [Budd-Chiari syndrome with inferior vena cava stenosis].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Stenosis of the inferior vena cava is a rare cause of Budd-Chiari's syndrome. We report on such a case related to a specific cause with a dramatic improvement after endovascular treatment.
  
  
  METHODS
  A 53-year old woman was admitted to hospital because she demonstrated circulatory collapse, inferior limbs edema and post-prandial epigastralgia. These signs were related to the occurrence of a stenosis of the sus-hepatic segment of the inferior vena cava related to the presence of the distal part of a catheter. An angioplasty with the insertion of a stent was followed by a total recovery with a one-year survey.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Angioplasty with the insertion of a stent should be considered in a Budd-Chiari syndrome related to the stenosis of the inferior vena cava. This option should be evaluated with reference to classic surgical techniques.
