Incidence of Extrahepatic Portal Vein Anatomic Variations and Their Clinical Implications in Daily Practice

Anatomical variations of the portal vein are relatively common and can affect the outcomes of hepatic resections, transplantations and interventional radiological procedures. The aim of this study was to review the literature regarding extrahepatic portal vein anomalies. Two main databases were sear...

description Anatomical variations of the portal vein are relatively common and can affect the outcomes of hepatic resections, transplantations and interventional radiological procedures. The aim of this study was to review the literature regarding extrahepatic portal vein anomalies. Two main databases were searched for suitable articles, and results concerning more than 3,700 patients were included in the analysis. The most common anatomical variations of the portal vein were trifurcation and having a right posterior portal vein as the first branch of the main portal vein; these anomalies were found in 11.7% and 10.8% of cases, respectively.
