But what about the treatment?
DeLeve et al . Vascular disorders of the Approach to liver. Hepatology. 2009 May;49(5):1729- Is an acute well-defined 64 Budd-Chiari clot present? Yes in non-Cirrhotic No Contraindication for patients AASLD practice thrombolytic therapy? Guidelines No Yes Symptomatic? Thrombolytic therapy Yes successful? No No Yes Angiography/ stenting successful? Continue TIPS anticoagulation No Yes

But when is it best to TIPS? Primary intervention After Angioplasty Recurrent/ Chronic Asymptomatic BCS Cirrhosis
2016 2008 “good long - term results” Non comparison High risk Patients Primary TIPS over primary Angioplasty “better patency and less mortality with primary TIPS “ Small size, retrospective small paper
Primary Angioplasty Vs. Primary TIPS ?
Whatever you choose…always treat the underlying cause! Steroids (in our case) Hydrea Idiopathic Hypereosinophilic Syndrome
In summary Young healthy female Idiopathic Hypereosinophilic syndrome Secondary Budd-Chiari T.I.P .S (+ steroids and hydrea) Doing well (normal LFT )
Budd-Chiari syn. may be the presenting symptom of • many hematological disorders – not only Myeloproliferative Eosinophilia is a precipitating factor for • splanchnic thrombotic events Early TIPS may be considered •
