Abstract:
Acute portomesenteric venous thrombosis (PVT) is a rare but potentially life-threatening condition in individuals without cirrhosis. Initial management typically involves anticoagulation therapy, but the optimal approach to interventional treatment remains a topic of ongoing research. This article explores both traditional and emerging endovascular techniques, providing an overview of the existing evidence supporting their use. Additionally, it delves into the significance of acute PVT in the context of contemporary pathologies, notably coronavirus disease 2019 infection, vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia, and liver transplantation.
