Abstract
The rare complication of tricuspid valve stenosis due to displacement of a peritoneovenous shunt catheter developed in a patient with Budd-Chiari syndrome. Surgical management included shunt removal and tricuspid valve replacement combined with hepatoatrial anastomosis. The tricuspid valve was replaced with a bioprosthesis, and liver resection opened the stenotic confluence of the hepatic veins. The right atrium was sutured to the liver capsule, thereby restoring physiologic hepatic venous blood flow.
