  • Title: Treatment of portal venous thrombosis with selective superior mesenteric artery infusion of recombinant tissue plasminogen activator.
    Author: Henao EA, Bohannon WT, Silva MB.
    Journal: J Vasc Surg; 2003 Dec; 38(6):1411-5. PubMed ID: 14681650.
    Abstract:
    Portal and mesenteric venous thrombosis is an uncommon condition that is usually treated with systemic anticoagulation. Catheter-directed thrombolysis via the superior mesenteric artery may be a viable adjunct to treatment of this potentially morbid condition. We present a case of portal and mesenteric venous thrombosis treated with systemic anticoagulation and catheter-directed infusion of tissue plasminogen activator via the superior mesenteric artery.
