Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) is a rare, potentially lifethreatening condition characterised by obstruction of the hepatic venous outflow tract due to thrombosis. Treatment typically involves lifelong anticoagulation and relieving the obstruction. This case report introduces hepatic venous thromboaspiration as an additional endovascular technique to achieve recanalisation. Keywords: Budd-Chiari syndrome, thromboaspiration, endovascular treatment Budd-Chiari syndrome. |
