Portal vein thrombosis
Abstract
Portal vein thrombosis (PVT) refers to complete or partial obstruction of the portal venous system due to thrombus formation. Cirrhosis and hypercoa-gulable conditions, such as malignancies, infections, and hematologic disorders, account for most cases of PVT. Women of childbearing age account for approximately 25% of cases with noncirrhotic PVT. Although pregnancy is a condition with hypercoagu-lability and portal hypertension PVT is a rare compli-cation during pregnancy and postpartum period. However, cesarean section (CS) is a common predis-posing factor for deep venous thrombosis (DVT) while prolonged bed rest is not significantly associa-ted with the risk of DVT.
