Portal vein intimal thickening in patients with cirrhosis is associated with indicators of portal hypertension
Intrahepatic portal vein intimal thickness is highly variable in patients with cirrhosis, but relatively consistent between right and left portal branches. The association between intimal thickness and history of variceal bleeding suggests that portal hypertension may contribute to initiation of intimal thickening, and consequently to the development of PVT.
