BACKGROUND AND METHODS Portal vein thrombosis (PVT) has been reported as a complication of IBD in some case reports. We describe the presentation, diagnostic approaches, underlying risks factors and clinical outcome of 8 IBD patients with PVT. CASE-SERIES: The patients presented with partial PVT (4 patients) or portal cavernoma. Five patients had undergone surgery. In 2 patients portal biliopat...

An early decision of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt may be considered for non-malignant and non-cirrhotic portal vein thrombosis with ascites: a concise review of the theoretical possibility and practical difficulty Portal vein thrombosis (PVT) is rarely encountered in the absence of abdominal malignancy or cirrhosis [1]. At the acute stage of PVT, most patients present with abdo...

BACKGROUND/AIMS The diagnosis of an underlying myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN) is often problematic in patients with Budd Chiari syndrome (BCS) or portal vein thrombosis (PVT). This study aimed to assess the diagnostic value of the JAK2 gene V617F gain-of-function mutation for MPN in splanchnic vein thrombosis patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS One hundred eleven patients (80 with PVT, 27 with...

INTRODUCTION Portal vein thrombosis (PVT) is a relatively uncommon complication after abdominal surgery. CASE REPORT We report an even more unusual case of PVT 10 days after an uncomplicated laparoscopic cholecystectomy, believed to be only the fourth reported case in the literature of this rare complication. CONCLUSION Albeit extremely rare, PVT should be included in the differential diagn...

Budd Chiari syndrome (BCS) is a hepatic vascular disorder which affects veins or inferior vena cava. Portal vein thrombosis (PVT) occurs in around 15%-25% of patients with BCS. The presence PVT BCS makes it more difficult to intervene radiologically. We present case BCS-related chronic liver disease that presented history variceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding and worsening ascites. patient h...

BACKGROUND Extra-hepatic portal vein obstruction due to portal vein thrombosis (PVT) is an important cause of portal hypertension in several regions including India. The cause of thrombosis in these patients remains unclear. We studied the frequency of mutations in genes for coagulation factors V and II (prothrombin) in 61 Indian patients with PVT and 49 healthy control subjects. METHODS The ...

INTRODUCTION Due to the complexity of the surgical procedure portal vein thrombosis (PVT) has long been considered an absolute contraindication to liver transplantation (LT). The presence of a large splenorenal shunt (SRS) could make portal anastomosis a valid option. PRESENTATION OF CASE We report the case of a 37-year-old female patient with Grade III PVT and a large SRS, who underwent orth...

In recent years, the incidence of portal vein thrombosis (PVT) in patients with cirrhosis has increased; ranges from asymptomatic partial to complete occlusion. Treatment is difficult. Anticoagulation therapy may be optimal first-line treatment for acute PVT who lack variceal bleeding or mesenteric ischemia. Minimally invasive options include mechanical thrombectomy, chemical thrombolysis, and ...

In adults, EHPVO mainly occurs following thrombosis, while in children it may be related to congenital malformations and/or neonatal umbilical venous catheterization. leads the cavernous transformation of portal vein absence recanalization. Portal cholangiopathy (also referred as biliopathy) is common patients with long-standing chronic PVT. It due compression large bile ducts by collaterals (p...

Portal vein thrombosis (PVT) is a rare but serious complication in the decompensated stage of cirrhosis, and recurrent upper gastrointestinal bleeding and refractory ascites can occur in such patients. In decompensated cirrhotic patients, the application of conventional anticoagulant therapy is limited due to severe coagulation disorders, thrombocytopenia, and history of gastrointestinal bleedi...
