Single arm, open-label study to provide Defibrotide to patients diagnosed with VOD.

Clinical diagnosis of VOD, made by Baltimore Criteria, Modified Seattle Criteria, or biopsy proven: 1.1 Baltimore Criteria- Bilirubin ≥2 mg/dL and at least 2 of the following clinical findings: - Ascites (radiographic or physical exam) - Weight gain of ≥5% compared to the day of conditioning-- if this value is not available, the weight on the date of admission to the SCT unit may be used) - Hepatomegaly; increased over baseline. 1.2 Modified Seattle Criteria: At least two of the following - Bilirubin ≥2 mg/dL - Ascites (radiographic or physical exam) and/or weight gain ≥5% above baseline weight (defined as weight on the first day of conditioning- if this value is not available, the weight on the date of admission to the SCT unit may be used) - hepatomegaly increased over baseline 1.3 Patients that do not meet the Baltimore Criteria or Modified Seattle Criteria and have biopsy proven VOD are eligible. 2.
