Hybrid Management of Acute Portal Vein Thrombosis Complicated by Mesenteric Ischemia

Abstract

Treatment for portal vein thrombosis complicated by mesenteric ischemia can be treated in the operating room following a hybrid approach. This allows for efficient care of the patient, avoids the need for transhepatic cannulation for obtaining a venogram and placing a thrombolysis catheter, and obviates the need to obtain percutaneous venous access.
