Title: Portal-Mesenteric Venous Thrombosis
Abstract: The importance of portal vein thrombosis (PVT) lies mainly in
the complications of prehepatic portal hypertension, which in
the chronic state causes bleeding through varices. Acute PVT is
the main cause of prehepatic portal hypertension in the Western
world1 and the primary cause of portal hypertension of any type
in noncirrhotic patients in developed countries. PVT accounts
for some 8% to 10% of all cases of portal hypertension.2021-01-01T00:00:00Z
