Percutaneous sharp recanalization of a membranous IVC occlusion with an occlusion balloon as a needle target

A 50-year-old male with right upper quadrant symptoms and hepatic dysfunction was found to have multiple dilated hepatic veins (HVs) with intrahepatic collateralization and membranous occlusion of the intrahepatic inferior vena cava (IVC) consistent with primary Budd–Chiari syndrome. Venacavograms d...

description A 50-year-old male with right upper quadrant symptoms and hepatic dysfunction was found to have multiple dilated hepatic veins (HVs) with intrahepatic collateralization and membranous occlusion of the intrahepatic inferior vena cava (IVC) consistent with primary Budd–Chiari syndrome. Venacavograms depicted drainage of the intrahepatic collaterals through a left-sided HV entering the IVC above the level of the occlusion. Sharp recanalization of the membranous IVC occlusion was performed with an occlusion balloon as a needle target under echocardiographic monitoring followed by balloon angioplasty with restoration of IVC patency. Clinical, laboratory, and venographic procedural success has been demonstrated to 9 months with minimal residual stenosis.
