Abstract
The paper presents the experience of successful treating a patient with diuretic-resistant ascites associated with Budd– Chiari syndrome. The authors provide a clinical observation of deceased donor liver transplantation to a patient with Budd–Chiari syndrome type 1, total hepatic vein occlusion, and diuretic-resistant ascites after portacaval shunt surgery. The post-transplantation period is observed as stable, with no signs of liver failure; ascites is reduced. The first experience of surgical treatment of a patient with Budd–Chiari syndrome, as well as the first experience of liver transplantation after portacaval shunting is appeared to be successful.
