Whаt type оf review is described in the fоllоwing аbstrаct? Portal vein thrombosis (PVT) refers specifically to the presence of a thrombus within the main portal vein trunk or its intrahepatic branches. In contrast, portal vein occlusion encompasses a broader spectrum of conditions, including tumor invasion, external compression and disorders that predispose to thrombosis, such as thrombophilia or inflammatory states. Advanced liver disease, particularly cirrhosis, is the most common cause of PVT, primarily due to portal hypertension, altered hemostasis and hemodynamic changes, followed by malignancies and inherited or acquired thrombophilic conditions. PVT can present as an acute or chronic condition: acute thrombosis is characterized by recent thrombus formation and potential intestinal ischemia, whereas chronic thrombosis is associated with long-standing obstruction, cavernous transformation and portal hypertension.
