What Is Budd Chiari Syndrome?
9. Treatment
The treatment for Budd Chiari syndrome will usually begin with medication that will help prevent the blood from clotting. Other medication might also be available to help dissolve any blood clots that already exist. Medication may also be used to help treat the underlying cause of the condition.
If medication alone is not working then a tube or stent may be inserted into the appropriate veins to help the blood flow freely again. When all treatments are not working and the liver is severely damaged, a liver transplant may be deemed necessary. A liver transplant is a large operation and it can take several months to recover.
