conclusions in our study, portal venous thrombosis was detected in the patient who died during the acute period only. a study including large numbers of budd-chiari-syndrome patients with behcet’s disease and portal venous thrombosis would be helpful to determine the prognostic significance of portal venous thrombosis in budd-chiari-syndrome patients with behcet’s disease. in addition, patients...

I WILL present a personal approach to the problem of portal hypertension, without attempting to cover the subject exhaustively, but emphasizing what I feel to be the important points for consideration in relation to the management of patients. Causes of portal hypertension The most important cause of portal hyperten-sion is chronic liver disease which usually implies cirrhosis of the liver. The...

BACKGROUND Doppler ultrasonography is an important tool for evaluating hepatic portal hemodynamics. However, no study in dogs of different body weights, in the range encountered in routine clinical veterinary practice, has been reported. It can be difficult to obtain an ideal insonation angle when evaluating the main portal vein, so evaluation of the right portal vein branch has been described ...

Effect of age, gender and BMI on the diameter and velocity of portal vein: All the nutrient rich blood from the GIT flows into the portal vein which determines the anatomical division of the hepatic lobes.1,2 The length of the portal vein is of surgical importance which is often cut down to link with the other vessels in interventional procedures like liver transplantation, trans hepatic portal...

Metastatic lesions in the liver derived from colorectal cancer rarely invade the portal vein macroscopically. Portal vein tumor thrombus is commonly associated with hepatocellular carcinoma. Colorectal liver metastases are usually accompanied by microscopic tumor invasion into the intrahepatic portal vein, and the incidence of macroscopic tumor thrombus in the trunk of the portal vein is rare. ...

We describe a deceased-donor liver transplant recipient with grade 3 complete portal vein and superior mesenteric vein thromboses, which was successfully managed with an extensive thrombectomy through the venotomy site of superior mesenteric vein. In this case report, we suggest our method as an option for grade 3 portal vein thromboses, and discuss other options available for recipients with p...

Purpose : To prevent intraperitoneal bleeding, it is critical that the extrahepatic portal vein should not be punctured during transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt(TIPS). There has, however, been no procedure for defining the anatomic relationship between the hepatic capsule and the portal vein segment before shunt formation. To avoid a possibly catastrophic outcome of extrahepatic por...

Portal vein thrombosis after pediatric liver transplantation is a common and devastating complication. Occurring in up to 8% of pediatric liver transplant recipients who are less than 15 kg, it frequently leads to graft loss and the need for emergent retransplantation. Children with biliary atresia are at particularly high risk and often develop an atretic portal vein; this makes the portal vei...

Vitelline veins are a pair of embryonic structures. The veins develop the portal vein system. Serious problems occur if the vitelline vein does not regress and becomes an aneurysm. Thrombus formation in the vitelline vein aneurysm could lead to portal vein thrombosis and portal hypertension unless promptly and correctly treated. Though vitelline vein aneurysm is an extremely rare anomaly, it ra...
