Current concepts in the management of non-cirrhotic non-malignant portal vein thrombosis.
Abstract
Non-cirrhotic non-malignant portal vein thrombosis (NCPVT) is an uncommon condition characterised by thrombosis of the portal vein, with or without extension into other mesenteric veins, in the absence of cirrhosis or intra-abdominal malignancy. Complications can include intestinal infarction, variceal bleeding and portal biliopathy. In this article, we address current concepts in the management of NCPVT including identification of risk factors, classification and treatment, and review the latest evidence on medical and interventional management options.
Keywords: Mesenteric veins; Non-cirrhotic portal vein thrombosis; Portal hypertension; Portal vein; Venous thrombosis.
