    Journal: Ann Vasc Surg; 2022 Feb; 79():443.e1-443.e6. PubMed ID: 34655751.
    Abstract:
    Portal vein thrombosis (PVT) is an uncommon but serious complication after liver transplantation (LT). Treatments for PVT include thrombolysis, surgical treatment or percutaneous intervention. We here report a case of PVT after LT successfully treated by an AngioJet device using the percutaneous transhepatic approach. A 36-year-old male presented with substantial thrombosis of the portal vein/superior mesenteric vein 2 years after a liver transplant. He was managed with an Angiojet thrombectomy and subsequent stent placement. This approach may be a safe and effective treatment for PVT in post-orthotopic LT patients.
