Portal vein thrombosis is defined as a clot within the trunk or intrahepatic branches of the portal vein. Sequelae involves either partial or complete recanalization. However, in patients with liver disease, it can progress to a cavernoma instead of recanalization. This can result in gastrointestinal bleeding and intestinal infarction. Its rising incidence in severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 is an important clinical aspect that needs to be addressed and treated.
门静脉血栓形成被定义为门静脉主干或肝内分支内的血栓。后遗症包括部分或完全再通。然而，在肝病患者中，它可能进展为海绵状血管瘤而非再通。这可能导致胃肠道出血和肠梗死。其在严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2感染中的发病率上升是一个需要解决和治疗的重要临床问题。
