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.
门静脉血栓形成(PVT)是肝移植(LT)后一种罕见但严重的并发症。PVT的治疗方法包括溶栓、手术治疗或经皮介入治疗。我们在此报告一例肝移植后PVT患者,采用经皮经肝途径使用AngioJet装置成功治疗。一名36岁男性在肝移植2年后出现门静脉/肠系膜上静脉大量血栓形成。他接受了AngioJet血栓切除术及随后的支架置入治疗。这种方法可能是原位肝移植术后PVT患者的一种安全有效的治疗方法。
