- Abstract:
- The presence of portal vein thrombosis is a potential limitation for liver transplantation. An intraoperative diagnosis is linked to extensive surgical treatment and massive postoperative complications and mortality. We present a surgical less risky method for the treatment of intraoperatively diagnosed portal and mesenteric vein thrombosis that served as salvage therapy for a patient who underwent liver transplantation in our centre. Postoperative complications were ascites and renal failure. Persistent ascites required repeated paracentesis during the first month after liver transplantation but medical treatment sufficed thereafter. Moderate renal failure as defined by the K/DOQI-guidelines improved gradually and dialysis was never indicated. Six months after transplantation, the patient had normal liver function and adequate renal function.
