Therapeutic efficacy and stent patency of transhepatic portal vein stenting after surgery

Table 2 Clinical manifestations of patients

Clinical manifestations	No. of patients
Intestinal angina-like abdominal pain refractory to medical treatment
Only pain	2
Worsening of PVS during the follow-up (> 2 wk)	4
Worsening of PVS during the follow-up (> 2 wk) + abnormal LFT	1
PVT after PCD	1
Abnormal LFT	1
Fail to PV anastomosis during the operation	1
Anorexia refractory to medical treatment (with increased JPDO)	1
Ascites	4
Increased JPDO	6
Abnormal LFT	1

“Worsening of PVS” indicates aggravation of the PVS on abdominal CT during the follow-up period. “Increased JPDO” indicates increased serosanguinous JP drain output–suspected ascites. CT: Computed tomography; JPDO: Jackson-Pratt drain output; PVS: Portal vein stenosis; PCD: Percutaneous drainage; PVT: Portal vein thrombosis.
