Abstract

We describe a technique for facilitating recanalization of hepatic veins via the transjugular approach in patients with Budd Chiari syndrome, where a transjugular liver biopsy cannula provides support to the catheter–glidewire combination and transabdominal ultrasound helps in positioning the tip of the cannula at the hepatic venous ostium.
