  • Title: Acute Budd-Chiari syndrome secondary to leiomyosarcoma of the inferior vena cava.
    Author: Kracht M, Becquemin JP, Anglade MC, Mathieu D, Hillion ML, Teboul JL.
    Journal: Ann Vasc Surg; 1989 Jul; 3(3):268-72. PubMed ID: 2673320.
    Abstract:
    The authors report a case of leiomyosarcoma of the inferior vena cava, responsible for an acute Budd-Chiari syndrome. The diagnosis, suggested by lower limb edema, ascites, and renal failure, was confirmed by sonography, CT scan, and pathological examination. A mesoatrial shunt and right atrial thrombectomy were performed under extracorporeal circulation. The inferior vena cava was ligated because the tumor was considered to be unresectable.
