Core Tip	We describe a novel surgical approach using a fresh caval homograft for inferior vena cava (IVC) obstruction proximal to the atrium. An attempt to balloon dilatation of the IVC obstruction was complicated by right atrial disruption with tamponade and ventricular fibrillation. Lately, the patient successfully underwent a reconstruction of the cavo-atrial continuity by the interposition of a fresh caval homograft, a novel surgical approach never described before for Budd-Chiari syndrome. Further follow-up revealed progressive reduction and resolution of ascites, and overall clinical improvement.
