Zusammenfassung: | We report a case of orthotopic liver transplantation, in which portal vein thrombosis developed in the immediate postoperative period. Surgical thrombectomy and intraoperative placement of a large caliber Wallstent resulted in long-term patency. The unique feature of this case is the intraoperative placement of the stent via the inferior mesenteric vein under fluoroscopic guidance. The use of a large caliber (16 mm) stent obviated the need for postoperative anticoagulation. |
