Successful thrombolysis of portal vein thrombosis induced by post-liver transplant splenectomy: a case report
This case underscores the importance of early detection, tailored anticoagulation strategies, and a multidisciplinary approach in managing PVT following splenectomy in LT recipients. Peripheral urokinase infusion may serve as a viable treatment option for patients with contraindications or reluctance toward invasive procedures. Further studies are needed to optimize anticoagulation protocols and long-term management strategies in this patient population.
