Computational fluid dynamics was used to investigate the effect of the pathogenesis of membranous obstruction of inferior vena cava of Budd-Chiari syndrome with various angles between right hepatic vein and inferior vena cava. Mimics software was used to reconstruct the models from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) angiograms of inferior vena cava, right hepatic vein, middle hepatic vein and left hepatic vein, and 3DMAX was used to construct the models of 30°, 60°, 90° and 120° angles between right hepatic vein and inferior vena cava, which was based on the reconstructed models.The model was conducted with clinical parameters in terms of wall shear stress distribution, static pressure distribution and blood velocity. The results demonstrated that the differences between wall shear stress and static pressure had statistical significance with various angles between right hepatic vein and inferior vena cava by SPSS. The pathogenesis of membranous obstruction of inferior vena cava had a correlation with the angles between right hepatic vein and inferior vena cava.
