Abstract
Oesophagogastric varices (EGV) are a common complication occurring secondary to cirrhotic portal hypertension. Endoscopic methods are often used for primary prevention and treatment in such patients. However, it has been found in clinical practice that patients undergoing repeated endoscopic variceal therapy (EVT) may develop portal vein thrombosis (PVT). Herein, we reported the case of a patient with cirrhosis who developed PVT after repeated EVT and further progressed to cavernous transformation of the portal vein (CTPV) after anticoagulant therapy to learn from the clinical treatment of this patient. Written informed consent was obtained from the patient to publish this case report, including the attached imaging data.
