Core Tip
Core tip: This preliminary survey of published literature demonstrated that the selection of treatment modalities for Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) might be different between China and Western countries. Balloon angioplasty with or without stenting, also known as percutaneous recanalization, was the most common treatment modality for BCS in China.
