A non cirrhotic patient with esophageal varices and portal vein thrombosis had recurrent variceal bleeding unsuccessfully controlled by endoscopy and esophageal transection. Emergency transhepatic portography confirmed the thrombosed right branch of the portal vein, while the left branch appeared angulated, shifted and stenotic. A stent was successfully implanted into the left branch and the co...

tion of splenic vein thrombosis: a novel approach to the portal venous system A diagnosis of portal system thrombosis can be easily obtained with conventional digital imaging [1]; however, the etiology of the thrombosis can be difficult to assess in the absence of the characteristic hallmarks of a malignant or benign thrombus. When a definitive diagnosis is required, transabdominal ultrasound-g...

Thrombosis of the portal vein with or without patency of its tributaries used to be a contraindication to orthotopic liver transplantation (OLTX) until quite recently. Rapid progress in the surgical technique of OLTX in the last few years has demonstrated that most patients with portal vein thrombosis can be safely and successfully transplanted. Presented here is a series of 34 patients with po...

POSTTRAUMATIC LEFT-SIDED PORTAL HYPERTENSION MANIFESTED WITH BLEEDING FUNDAL VARICES (Abstract): Splenic vein obstruction (usually due to thrombosis) induces left-sided portal hypertension and isolated fundal varices in patients with unaffected liver parenchyma and permeable portal vein. Pancreatic etiology is among the most frequent for splenic vein thrombosis. Hemorrhage from isolated fundal ...

Purpose. We report a novel technique which aided recanalization of an occluded portal vein for transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) creation in a patient with symptomatic portal vein thrombosis with cavernous transformation. Some have previously considered cavernous transformation a contraindication to TIPS. Case Presentation. 62-year-old man with chronic pancreatitis, portal ve...
