The natural history of portal venous system aneurysms
Two-thirds of PVAs, including those with size greater than 3 cm, remain stable on surveillance. Although annual surveillance is initially recommended to confirm PVA stability, interval imaging can be subsequently extended given low growth rates. Over 20% of PVAs thrombosed, but none ruptured. Although we did not observe any cases of rupture, the devastating consequences of rupture necessitate consideration of surgical intervention for large symptomatic PVAs.
