Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS To investigate the feasibility and long-term outcomes of hepatic vein (HV) recanalization using intrahepatic collateral pathways in patients with Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) with HV obstruction. METHODS Clinical data of 29 BCS patients with HV obstruction and intrahepatic collateral pathways were reviewed. All patients underwent HV recanalization through the intrahepatic collaterals. Follow-up was performed at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after treatment and annually thereafter. Cumulative patency and survival rates were assessed using Kaplan-Meier curves. The independent predictors of patency were determined using a Cox regression model. RESULTS HV recanalization was successful in 28 of the 29 patients (96.6%), with no complications. Of the 28 cases, simultaneous recanalization of the accessory HV and right HV was achieved in 11 patients, accessory HV and middle HV in six, accessory HV and left HV in three, right HV and middle HV in five, and left HV and middle HV in three. Twenty-eight patients were followed from 4 to 87 (mean, 53.6 ± 26.7) months after treatment, and six patients developed reocclusion. The overall cumulative 1-, 3-, 5-, and 7-year primary HV patency rates were 96.3, 82.9, 74.6, and 59.7%, respectively. The cumulative 1-, 3-, 5-, and 7-year survival rates were 100, 95.8, 95.8, and 86.3%, respectively. CONCLUSION Interventional treatment of HV obstruction in BCS patients through intrahepatic collateral approaches is well tolerated and feasible and can result in excellent long-term patency and survival rates.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) results from the obstruction of the hepatic venous flow, usually at the level of the hepatic vein or inferior vena cava. When left untreated, it can progress with several complications, including liver cirrhosis. Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) appears to be effective in a subgroup of BCS patients. OBJECTIVE To perform a systematic review and meta-analysis of TIPS effectiveness in BCS treatment, considering the survival rate, reduction in portosystemic pressure, need for liver transplantation, technical failure, and shunt dysfunction for up to 10 years of follow-up. METHODS We evaluated 17 studies published in PubMed, Science Direct, Web of Science, and SCOPUS databases, which used TIPS as a treatment for BCS, comprising 618 subjects between 18 and 78 years old. We assessed the bias risk by the NOS, NHI, and JBI scales for cohort stu-dies, before-after studies, and case series, respectively. We conducted the meta-analyses by extracting the number of events and the total patients evaluated to perform the proportion meta-analyses using the R software ("meta" package - version 4.9-6). RESULTS The pooled results (95%CI) showed a 19% (25.9-12.5%) rate of portosystemic pressure reduction, 6% (1-12%) rate for the need for liver transplants despite the use of TIPS, 2% (1-6%) technical failure rate, 30% (18-46%) shunt dysfunction rate, and 88% (81-93%) for the mean frequency of patients alive between 1 and 10 years after the procedure. We stratified survival rate and found an 86% (74-93%) prevalence of living subjects during less than five years, 92% (83-97%) at five years, and a 77% frequency (68-83%) of patients alive ten years after the TIPS placement. CONCLUSION TIPS is an effective treatment for BCS, providing a high 10-year frequency of living patients and a significant decrease in portosystemic pressure. The need for liver transplants after TIPS and the technical failure rate is low.

Abstract
Budd-Chiari syndrome is a complex clinical disorder of hepatic venous outflow obstruction, originating from the accessory hepatic vein (HV), large HV, and suprahepatic inferior vena cava (IVC). This disorder includes both HV and IVC obstructions and hepatopathy. This study aimed to conduct a systematic review of the survival rate and clinical success of different types of endovascular treatments for Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS). All participant studies were retrieved from four databases and selected according to the eligibility criteria for systematic review of patients with BCS. The survival rate, clinical success of endovascular treatments in BCS, and survival rates at 1 and 5 years of publication year were calculated accordingly. A total of 3398 patients underwent an endovascular operation; among them, 93.6% showed clinical improvement after initial endovascular treatment. The median clinical success rates for recanalization, transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS), and combined procedures were 51%, 17.50%, and 52.50%, respectively. The median survival rates at 1 and 5 years were 51% and 51% for recanalization, 17.50% and 16% for TIPS, and 52.50% and 49.50% for combined treatment, respectively. Based on the year of publication, the median survival rates at 1 and 5 years were 23.50% and 22.50% before 2000, 41% and 41% in 2000‒2005, 35% and 35% in 2006‒2010, 51% and 48.50% in 2010‒2015, and 56% and 55.50% after 2015, respectively. Our findings indicate that the median survival rate at 1 and 5 years of recanalization treatment is higher than that of TIPS treatment, and recanalization provides better clinical improvement. The publication year findings strongly suggest progressive improvements in interventional endovascular therapy for BCS. Thus, interventional therapy restoring the physiologic hepatic venous outflow of the liver can be considered as the treatment of choice for patients with BCS which is a physiological modification procedure.

Abstract
This study was performed to evaluate the outcome of endovascular intervention therapy for Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) and compare recanalization, transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS)/direct intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (DIPS), and combined procedure treatment. For the meta-analysis, 71 studies were identified by searching four databases. The individual studies’ samples were used to calculate a confidence interval (CI 95%), and data were pooled using a fixed-effect model and random effect model. The pooled measure and an equal-weighted average rate were calculated in all participant studies. Heterogeneity between the studies was assessed with I2, and T2 tests, and publication bias was estimated using Egger’s regression test. A total of 4,407 BCS patients had undergone an endovascular intervention procedure. The pooled results were 98.9% (95% CI 97.8‒98.9%) for a technical success operation, and 96.9% (95% CI 94.9‒98.9%) for a clinical success operation. The re-intervention rate after the initial intervention procedure was 18.9% (95% CI 14.7‒22.9%), and the survival rates at 1 and 5 years after the initial intervention procedure were 98.9% (95% CI 96.8‒98.9%) and 94.9% (95% CI 92.9‒96.9%), respectively. Patients receiving recanalization treatment (98%) had a better prognosis than those with a combined procedure (95.6%) and TIPS/DIPS treatment (94.5%). The systematic review and meta-analysis further solidify the role of endovascular intervention treatment in BCS as safe and effective. It maintains high technical and clinical success and long-term survival rates. The recanalization treatment had a better prognosis and outcome than the combined procedures and TIPS/DIPS treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We compared the long-term outcomes of small and large diameter balloon angioplasty for Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) with inferior vena cava (IVC) involvement in a retrospective cohort study. METHODS Of 119 patients with BCS and IVC involvement, 23 had undergone small diameter balloon angioplasty (diameter, 14-20 mm; group A) and 96 had undergone large diameter balloon angioplasty (diameter, 24-30 mm; group B). The patients were considered cured clinically if the IVC was patent with no symptom or signs evident. RESULTS From January 2010 to December 2016, 119 BCS patients with IVC involvement had undergone balloon angioplasty, with angioplasty successful in all 119 patients. One patient died of pulmonary embolism after dilation in group A. Abdominal pain was the most common complication during dilation and was experienced by significantly more patients in group B (77.1%) than in group A (47.8%; P = .009). Of the 119 patients, 91 (76.5%) were considered cured, with significantly more patients in group B (82.3%) than in group A (52.2%; P = .005). The mean follow-up period was 41.3 ± 2.2 months. In group B, the 1-, 3-, and 5-year primary and secondary patency rates were 82.2% ± 4.2%, 69.8% ± 5.4%, and 54.0% ± 7.0% and 97.5% ± 1.7%, 92.5% ± 3.3%, and 90.2% ± 3.9%, respectively. The patency rates at all follow-up intervals were lower in group A than in group B. The clinical response rate in group B was also significantly greater than that in group A (96.9% vs 78.3%; P = .007). The 1-, 3-, and 5-year survival rates were 100%, 88.7% ± 7.6%, and 88.7% ± 7.6% and 96.5% ± 2.0%, 92.5% ± 3.0%, and 86.0% ± 5.4% in groups A and B, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Large diameter balloon angioplasty is safe and effective for BCS patients with IVC involvement, yielding better patency rates and long-term outcomes compared with small diameter balloon angioplasty.

Abstract
Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS), or hepatic venous outflow obstruction, is a rare cause of liver disease that should not be missed. Variable clinical presentation among patients with BCS necessitates a high index of suspicion to avoid missing this life-threatening diagnosis. BCS is characterized as primary or secondary, depending on etiology of venous obstruction. Most patients with primary BCS have several contributing risk factors leading to a prothrombotic state. A multidisciplinary stepwise approach is integral in treating BCS. Lifelong anticoagulation is recommended. Long-term monitoring of patients for development of cirrhosis, complications of portal hypertension, hepatocellular carcinoma, and progression of underlying diseases is important.

Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the long-term efficacy and safety of percutaneous transhepatic balloon angioplasty (PTBA) and transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic stent-shunt (TIPSS) in the treatment of Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) with hepatic veins involvement. Between June 2008 and August 2016, a total of 60 BCS patients with hepatic vein involvement in our department were enrolled in this study. Thirty-three cases underwent hepatic vein balloon angioplasty in PTBA Group and 27 cases underwent TIPSS. Data were retrospectively collected, and follow-up observations were performed. TIPSS Group showed significantly higher thrombotic/segmental obstruction and peripheral stenosis/obstruction compared with PTBA Group. The success rates were 93.9% and 100.0% in PTBA Group and TIPSS Group, respectively. The mean portal vein pressure decreased significantly after stenting. Except for 1 patient died from repeated hemorrhage, other sever complications had not been observed in both group. Twenty-six patients and 21 patients were clinically cured in PTBA Group and TIPSS Group, respectively. The primary patency rates were 89.7%, 79.3%, and 79.3% for short-term, mid-term and longterm in PTBA Group, which were significantly higher than TIPSS Group for long-term follow up. The second patency rates were 100.0%, 96.6% and 96.6% for short-term, mid-term and long-term in PTBA Group, which were similar to TIPSS Group (P = 1.0000). In conclusion, PTBA and TIPSS are safe and effective in the treatment of BCS with hepatic veins involvement, with an excellent long-term patency rate of hepatic vein and TIPSS shunt. TIPSS can be used to treat patients with all 3 hepatic veins lesion and failure PTBA.

Abstract
PURPOSE To report the long-term results of endoluminal sharp recanalization of occluded inferior vena cava (IVC) in patients with the Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS). PATIENTS AND METHODS Seventy-two consecutive patients with BCS and IVC occlusion underwent endoluminal recanalization of the IVC occlusion during a 6-year period. BCS with occlusive IVC was detected by reviewing patient history and color Doppler ultrasonography. Data on technical success, morbidity, mortality, complications, and color Doppler sonographic outcome were collected and analyzed. RESULTS Seventy-seven recanalizations were performed in 72 patients. Technical success (patent IVC with good blood flow) was achieved in 70 (97.4%) patients. No perioperative death was observed. Six complications were found during recanalization, and 10 complications were found for total interventional procedures. The complication rates were 7.8% and 7.3% for recanalization and total procedure, respectively. Bleeding of access veins was the most common complication, and 2 patients showed slight rupture of IVC. The postoperative IVC diameter and blood speed of IVC increased significantly. Fifty-seven patients (79.2%) were clinical cured, and 2 patients (2.8%) showed no improvement. The 1-year, 3-year, and 5-year primary patency rates were 92.5%, 86.8%, and 77.3%, respectively. The second patency rates were 100.0%, 97.8%, and 91.8% for 1, 3, and 5 years, respectively. There were 2 deaths during follow-up. CONCLUSION Endoluminal sharp recanalization of occluded IVC in patients with BCS is safe and effective with good long-term outcomes.
