Objective: Percutaneous transluminal balloon angioplasty (PTA) is the main treatment option for Budd–Chiari syndrome (BCS) with inferior vena cava (IVC) obstruction. However, IVC rupture caused by PTA has never been reported. Materials and Methods: Between August 2004 and December 2016, a consecutive cohort of 617 BCS patients with obstructed IVC who underwent PTA with or without stent placement were reviewed retrospectively to identify IVC rupture. Pre- and post-procedural imaging data, clinical and procedural technical data were analyzed. Results: Of the 617 BCS patients, five patients had IVC rupture caused by PTA (0.81%). Four of these patients had retroperitoneal, intra-hepatic IVC rupture without extravasation into abdominal cavity which was successfully managed conservatively. One patient had supra-hepatic IVC rupture into the pericardial cavity which was surgically treated. Conclusion: IVC rupture is a rare complication of PTA treatment of BCS and most commonly located at the intra-hepatic IVC caused by oversized balloons which does not require additional treatment.
