Graft and patient survival following angioplasty for post-transplant portal vein stenosis in children under 7 years: a matched case–control study
Seven-year graft and patient survival after PTA for PVS were on par with that of patients without PVS. Graft survival was lower for patients with chronic PVT. Clinical course and liver function after PTA were comparable to patients without PVS. These findings, together with the low complication rate and high long-term patency, provide additional evidence supporting the efficacy of PTA in the management of PVS.
