Objective  To summarize the technique and indication of total corrective operation of Budd-Chiari syndrome by open angioplasty.
Methods  Twelve patients of Budd-Chiari syndrome from November 1997 to September 1999 treated by total open angioplasty were studied.
Results  About 1 500-2 580ml self-blood was recycled and transfused during the operation. Bank-blood was not required to patients, except one who experienced second thoracectomy for hemostasis after the operation. The pressure of inferior vena cava declined obviously and no complication occurred after operation. All patients were cured. Ultrasonic examination was performed six months after operation and no reocclusion of inferior vena cava was found in these patients.
Conclusion  Total corrective operation by open angioplasty is efficacy to treat Budd-Chiari syndrome. Controlling hemorrhage of inferior vena cava to maintain a clear operation field is the key to success of operation.
