Abstract:
Budd-Chiari syndrome is described as a disorder characterized by the obstruction of
hepatic venous outflow. The first description of the syndrome was done by George
Budd in 1846. The etiology of the disease is multifactorial and requires differential
diagnosing. The prognostic evaluation of patients with liver outflow obstruction
differentiates special groups for further treatment procedures. The stepwise approach
of Budd-Chiari syndrome allows the finding of the right technique on an individual
basis for every patient.
