This report describes a patient with Budd-Chiari syndrome who was operated on successfully by means of shunt formation with polytetrafluoroethylene graft between the inferior vena cava (IVC) and right atrium. The patient is a sixty-two-year-old woman suffering from persistent edema of the lower limbs for four years. The examination disclosed complete obstruction of the IVC at the level of the diaphragm with a patent right inferior hepatic vein. Following the operation, edema of the limbs disappeared, hypersplenism improved, and the serum ammonium concentration decreased to the normal range. In conclusion, a retrohepatic cavoatrial shunt is feasible and useful in treating a patient with the Budd-Chiari syndrome who has patent major hepatic veins.
