We report our experience with management of patients with Budd Chiari syndrome over the past two decades. In 1996 we described a novel approach involving recanalisation of hepatic veins by combined percutaneous and transvenous approaches. This was incorporated into an algorithm published in 1999 in which our preferred treatment for all cases of Budd Chiari syndrome with short segment occlusion or stenosis of the hepatic veins involves recanalisation of the hepatic veins by transvenous or combined percutaneous-transvenous approaches. In symptomatic Budd Chiari syndrome where recanalisation is not possible, we perform transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunts (TIPS) because TIPS decompresses the portal circulation directly in an adjustable way. In this series of patients with Budd Chiari syndrome treated with radiological interventions alone, we assess their medium term outcome using two independent objective prognostic indices.
