If a person has budd chiari syndrome and now they need to stop warfarin is it typical that the veins in the liver would get clotted again?

Specializes in Cardiology

Discuss with your Dr: It is never advised to warfarin without a thorough discussion with your doctor about the risks & benefits. In budd chiari there is a risk of new clots in the veins of the liver.
