Abstract

High-grade portal vein thrombosis (PVT) is often considered to be a relative contraindication for liver transplantation (LT). This study compares patients with chronic, obliterative PVT, who underwent portal vein recanalization-transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (PVR-TIPS) and subsequent LT, to those with partial, non-occlusive PVT who underwent LT without an intervention.
