The patient is sent to Italian town Bergamo for the treatment. The hospital in Bergamo is specialized for this type of illness and for transplantation of liver. Mrs. Sanja Radojević Škodrić, RHII Director said that time has very important role when we talk about Petar Petrović case, since the boy has Budd-Chiari syndrome diagnose which leads to failure of liver function by the time.
