【Abstract】ObjectiveTo report the author’s experience with the first case of an adult-to-adult living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) for Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) using cryopreserved vena cava graft in postheptic vena cava reconstruction.
MethodsA 35-year-old male patient with a diagnosis of BCS complicated with inferior vena cava (IVC) obstruction received medical treatment and radiologic intervention for nine months, no relief of the symptoms could be achieved. Finally, the patient underwent LDLT, which required posthepatic vena cava reconstructed using cryopreserved vena cava graft.
ResultsThe patient has had an uneventful course since the LDLT.
ConclusionWe believe that LDLT combined with posthepatic IVC reconstruction using cryopreserved vena cava graft is considered to be a sound modality for IVC obstructed BCS.
