Management of Hepatic Venous Outlet Obstruction with Placement of Bakri Balloon
نویسندگان
چکیده
Hepatic Venous outflow obstruction can rarely but significantly occur following the ‘piggy back’ technique of vena caval reconstruction. There are various mechanisms that cause hepatic venous outflow obstruction. A ‘ball valve’ type of obstruction requires the liver to be elevated. This can be achieved by placing various devices under the liver. We present our experience of using the ‘Bakri tube’, a single bulb device designed for control of intra uterine bleeding, to elevate the liver and relieve hepatic venous outflow obstruction.
