Preoperative portal vein recanalization-transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt for chronic obliterative portal vein thrombosis: Outcomes following liver transplantation. [PDF]
Patients with chronic, obliterative portal vein thrombosis may be converted to liver transplantation candidacy following portal vein recanalization‐transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (PVR‐TIPS). Long‐term survival outcomes of patients with chronic, obliterative portal vein thrombosis who undergo transplantation following PVR‐TIPS are similar
