T2  - Liver Transplantation: Operative Techniques and Medical Management
AB  - The  incidence  of  portal  vein  thrombosis  (PVT)  at  the  time  of  liver  transplantation  (LT)  in  patients  with  end-stage  liver  disease  varies  between  2%  and  26%.1–3  This  may  be  an  underestimation  of  the  actual  incidence  of  PVT  in  cirrhotic  patients  (0.6%  to  64%)4,5  because  the  presence  of  PVT  was  until  recently  considered  by  many  transplant  centers  to  be  at  least  a  relative  contraindication  for  LT,  in  view  of  the  technical  difficulties  that  it  can  present  during  transplantation  (excessive  bleeding  and  inability  to  establish  adequate  portal  inflow)  and  its  association  with  a  higher  rate  of  patient  morbidity  and  mortality.
