Portal vein-variceal anastomosis for portal vein inflow reconstruction in orthotopic liver transplantation: A case report and review of literature

BACKGROUND: Portal vein thrombosis (PVT) is a frequent complication occurring in 5% to 26% of cirrhotic patients candidates for liver transplantation (LT). In cases of extensive portal and or mesenteric vein thrombosis, complex vascular reconstruction of the portal inflow may become necessary for a...

description BACKGROUND: Portal vein thrombosis (PVT) is a frequent complication occurring in 5% to 26% of cirrhotic patients candidates for liver transplantation (LT). In cases of extensive portal and or mesenteric vein thrombosis, complex vascular reconstruction of the portal inflow may become necessary for a successful orthotopic LT (OLT). CASE SUMMARY: A 54-year-old male with history of cirrhosis secondary to schistosomiasis complicated with extensive portal and mesenteric vein thrombosis and severe portal hypertension who underwent OLT with portal vein-left gastric vein anastomosis. CONCLUSION: We review the various types of PVT, the portal venous inflow reconstruction techniques.
