dc.description.abstractMembranous obstruction of vena cava (MOVC) is a common cause of hepatic venous outflow obstruction. Surgical procedures utilized to relieve symptoms carry a high morbidity and mortality. A patient who presented with gradual onset ascites and dilated, tortuous veins over the anterior abdominal wall and the back was found to have MOVC by inferior vena cavogram. Balloon dilatation of the obstruction was done successfully through a transvenous approach. Following this, the patient improved remarkably. The procedure is safe, effective and easy to perform. This balloon angioplasty provides alternative method for treatment of membranous obstruction of vena cava.en_US
