Abstract

Budd-Chiari syndrome is a serious condition which in chronic course leads to the development of liver cirrhosis. Anti-coagulant treatment of this syndrome is fully indicated and in the treatment can be used dabigatran. Advanced cirrhosis of the liver due to this disease can be an indication for a liver transplant. In this case, it is a great advantage the existence of an antidote to dabigatran (idarucizumab) in order to adjust the coagulation ratios and prevent bleeding disorders. Referred to a case report describes the first experience with idarucizumab in context with liver transplant in a patient with Budd-Chiari syndrome.
