Core Tip |
Budd-Chiari Syndrome is a challenging disease with a spectrum of clinical manifestations. It is evident from our experience that this condition has heterogeneous etiology. The liver transplant waitlist mortality was 15.6%; therefore, it is evident that BCS patients have high mortality despite being considered candidates for liver transplantation. Once specific prognostic factors are considered, treatment courses should be determined on a case-by-case basis but are most consistently instituted in a stepwise fashion. Moreover, in certain patients with visible hepatic decompensation, systemic anticoagulation may need to be fortified with portal decompression procedures such as TIPS earlier in the disease process. |
