{Abstract}: In some specific cases, the surgical technique involved in liver transplantation can be challenging, as, for example, in cases of Budd-Chiari syndrome. This case describes a case of liver transplantation in a patient diagnosed with Budd-Chiari syndrome due to a previous surgery that required retrohepatic vena cava resection. During the liver transplantation procedure, a cavo-atrial anastomosis was performed through transdiaphragmatic access, with a good postoperative result, showing that, although challenging, this technique is a feasible option in specific cases.
