Portal thrombosis: percutaneous transhepatic treatment with urokinase--a case report

J I Bilbao et al. Gastrointest Radiol. 1989 Fall.

Abstract

We present a case report of a patient suffering from portal and superior mesenteric vein thrombosis secondary to splenectomy. No surgical procedure could be performed due to the extension of thrombus. Local fibrinolysis treatment with urokinase through a percutaneous transhepatic approach was decided upon, and this procedure had a successful patient outcome.
