Management of splanchnic venous thrombosis after splenectomy in hematologic diseases: systematic review, meta-analysis, and consensus guidelines
This study presents the first international consensus-based guidelines for managing SVT after splenectomy in patients with hematologic disease. Developed through systematic evidence synthesis and expert consensus, these recommendations provide a practical framework rather than definitive standards of care and support individualized prevention, detection, and treatment strategies in this high-risk population.
