Budd-Chiari syndrome is a serious condition which in chronic course leads to the development of liver cirrhosis. Anticoagulant 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.
