  • Title: [Subacute Budd-Chiari syndrome treated with rTPA. Considerations on a case].
    Author: Nardini A, Falco E, Celoria G, Neviani AL, Stefani R, Gadducci G, Astesana L, Spinetta G.
    Journal: Minerva Chir; 1993 Oct 15; 48(19):1129-33. PubMed ID: 8309615.
    Abstract:
    The authors report on a case of hepatic vein thrombosis or Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) successfully treated with recombinant Tissue Plasminogen Activator (rTPA). They briefly outline the etiology and symptomatology of this disease as well as the various surgical procedures used for treatment. Medical therapy has been so far poorly effective in treatment BCS, but recently various reports seem to indicate that rTPA may have a role. The authors suggest that rTPA may be used as the only therapy in selected cases, or in treating patients that are not candidates for surgical intervention, or as a temporizing measure to improve symptoms in patients awaiting surgery.
