  • Title: Side-to-side portacaval shunt versus nonsurgical treatment of Budd-Chiari syndrome.
    Author: Malt RA, Dalton JC, Johnson RE, Gurewich V.
    Journal: Am J Surg; 1978 Sep; 136(3):387-9. PubMed ID: 707712.
    Abstract:
    Although a side-to-side portacaval shunt will relieve some patients with Budd-Chiari syndrome, distinction between relief as a result of operation and spontaneous recovery may be inexact. A nonshunting operation relieved one of two patients as much as a side-to-side portacaval shunt did. In these two patients and one additional patient, streptokinase therapy may have been beneficial.
