Endovascular Management of Non-Cirrhotic Acute Portomesenteric Venous Thrombosis.

Endovascular Management of Non-Cirrhotic Acute Portomesenteric Venous Thrombosis. Journal of vascular and interventional radiology : JVIR Lorenz, J., Kwak, D. H., Martin, L., Kesselman, A., Hofmann, L. V., Yu, Q., Youssef, S., Ciolek, P., Ahmed, O. 2024

Abstract

Acute portomesenteric venous thrombosis (PVT) is a rare but potentially life-threatening condition in individuals without cirrhosis. Initial management typically involves anticoagulation therapy, but the optimal approach to interventional treatment remains a topic of ongoing research. This article explores both traditional and emerging endovascular techniques, providing an overview of the existing evidence supporting their use. Additionally, it delves into the significance of acute PVT in the context of contemporary pathologies, notably COVID-19 infection, vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia, and liver transplantation.
