Pericardial Tamponade during Supra Hepatic IVC Angioplasty in Budd-Chiari Syndrome Managed by Ultrasound-Guided Pericardiocentesis
Introduction
Role of endovascular interventions has increased in the treatment of inferior vena cava (IVC) occlusion including Budd-Chiari syndrome, since surgical options are limited. Fibrous component in thrombus, anatomical narrowing of IVC, the ambiguity of course of IVC to the atrium, and inability to assess across occlusion are all challenges faced in interventions in Budd-Chiari syndrome.[1] The occurrence of iatrogenic cardiac tamponade is a rare complication of IVC venoplasty.[1] [2] Herein, we present a case that highlights the importance of timely anticipation of this near-fatal event and management of pericardial tamponade in salvaging the patient's life.
