Budd-Chiari syndrome due to the tip of an internal jugular tunneled dialysis catheter malposition in inferior vena cava or hepatic vein is a rare complication. We aimed to present our experience and compare it with the previous reports to highlight the clinical features and the optimal management. A 57-year-old female with history of ANCAp vasculitis, treated by hemodialysis in the last 2 years on a right internal jugular vein tunneled catheter was admitted for pain in the right upper quadrant. A subacute Budd-Chiari syndrome due to catheter malposition was diagnosed. The catheter was removed, and a new tunneled hemodialysis line was inserted in the right internal jugular vein with the tip at the junction of right atrium with superior vena cava. Anticoagulation with apixaban 2.5 mg twice daily was started after catheter replacement and the patient was discharged. At 1 month follow-up the patient had no symptoms, and the ultrasound revealed the absence of the thrombus in the inferior vena cava. Imagining monitoring for malposition after insertion or in a clinical context suggestive for Budd-Chiari syndrome is essential for early diagnosis and treatment. In our case, anticoagulation with apixaban and prompt catheter replacement resulted in Budd-Chiari syndrome resolution.

Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) results from the occlusion or flow reduction in the hepatic veins or inferior vena cava and can be treated with transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt when hepatic vein recanalization fails.1-3 Hypercoagulable patients with primary BCS are predisposed to development of new areas of thrombosis within the TIPS shunt or IVC. This case details a patient with BCS, pre-existing TIPS extending to the right atrium, and chronic retrohepatic IVC thrombosis who underwent sharp recanalization of the IVC with stenting into the TIPS stent bridging the patient until his subsequent hepatic transplantation.

Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, an increasingly recognized primary tumour of the liver, is associated with a very poor prognosis. A patient with this tumour who presented with Budd-Chiari syndrome (the first to the authors' knowledge in Western literature and only the third patient overall) secondary to extensive thrombosis in his inferior vena cava extending from the right atrium down to his iliac vessels is described. Neither curative nor palliative intervention was deemed to be an option in this patient, who deteriorated rapidly while on anti-coagulants. Postmortem examination confirmed the radiological findings, and histological analysis revealed characteristic appearances of this tumour within the biliary tree and invasion into the inferior vena cava. Furthermore, biliary dysplasia, which can be a precursor to this cancer, was also noted within some of the bile ducts.

Budd-Chiari syndrome is an uncommon disorder characterized by the thrombotic or non-thrombotic obstruction of hepatic venous outflow anywhere along the venous course from the hepatic venules to the junction of the inferior vena cava and the right atrium. The etiology of Budd-Chiari syndrome is classified as primary, attributable to intrinsic intraluminal thrombosis or the development of venous webs; or secondary, caused by intraluminal invasion by a parasite or malignant tumor or extraluminal compression by an abscess, solid tumor, or cyst, such as a hydatid cyst. In this study, we present a case of a giant hydatid cyst manifesting Budd-Chiari syndrome symptoms and signs by compressing the inferior vena cava and hepatic veins. In brief, the case demonstrates that hydatid disease should be considered in the differential diagnosis of Budd-Chiari Syndrome in areas such as Turkey, where hydatid disease is endemic.

History Of

Budd–Chiari syndrome (BCS), a rare and life-threatening disorder due to hepatic venous outflow obstruction, is occasionally associated with hypoproteinemia. We herein report the first case of BCS with segmental obstruction of the intrahepatic portion of inferior vena cava (IVC) and hepatic veins (HVs) successfully treated by endovascular stenting in Vietnam. A 32-year-old female patient presented with a 2-month history of massive ascites and leg swelling. She refused history of oral contraceptives use. Hepatosplenomegaly without tenderness was noted. Laboratory data showed polycythemia, mild hypoalbuminemia and hypoproteinemia, slightly high total bilirubin and normal transaminase level. The serum ascites albumin gradient was 1.9 g/dL and ascitic protein level was 1.1 g/dL. The other data were normal. BCS was suspected because of the discrepancy between mild liver failure and massive ascites; and the presence of hepatosplenomegaly and polycythemia. On abdominal magnetic resonance imaging, the segmental obstruction of three HVs and IVC was 2-3 cm long without thrombus. Cavogram revealed the severe segmental stenosis of intrahepatic portion of IVC with no visualized HV and extensive collateral veins. A Protégé stent was deployed to IVC. Leg swelling and ascites were completely resolved within 3 days after stenting. During 1-year follow-up, edema was not recurred and repeated laboratory results were all normal.
