Portal vein recanalization transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (PVR-TIPS) is a safe and effective procedure for decompression of portal hypertension (PH). In this short case series, 2 women with chronic noncirrhotic portal vein thrombosis were treated with PVR-TIPS. Both patients hoped to conceive. Without treatment for their PH, their pregnancies posed a significant risk of life-threatening variceal bleeding. Both patients tolerated the procedure well and delivered without complications of PH. In future cases of noncirrhotic portal vein thrombosis in patients hoping to conceive, PVR-TIPS should be considered for definitive treatment of PH.
经颈静脉肝内门体分流术(PVR-TIPS)门静脉再通是一种安全有效的门静脉高压(PH)减压手术。在这个简短的病例系列中,2名患有慢性非肝硬化门静脉血栓形成的女性接受了PVR-TIPS治疗。两名患者都希望怀孕。如果不治疗她们的PH,怀孕会带来危及生命的静脉曲张出血的重大风险。两名患者对该手术耐受性良好,分娩时无PH并发症。对于未来希望怀孕的非肝硬化门静脉血栓形成患者,应考虑采用PVR-TIPS作为PH的确定性治疗方法。
