ABSTRACT
Injury of the hepatic veins or suprahepatic inferior vena cava is a rare cause of Budd-Chiari syndrome. Treatment of this syndrome has primarily involved hepatic venous decompression with a variety of portosystemic shunts. We report a case of thrombosis of the inferior vena cava after blunt injury managed with interventional radiologic techniques.
