New approach to dilation of stenotic lesions through the accessory hepatic vein in Budd-Chiari syndrome

We investigated a new approach to dilation of stenotic lesions through the femoral vein-accessory hepatic vein-intrahepatic communicating branched vein-hepatic vein-inferior vena cava loop in two cases of Budd-Chiari syndrome. For some selected patients, this approach represents an additional method to increase technical success and to decrease complications.
