FAQs

What happens when portal vein is blocked?

Portal vein thrombosis is blockage or narrowing of the portal vein (the blood vessel that brings blood to the liver from the intestines) by a blood clot. Most people have no symptoms, but in some people, fluid accumulates in the abdomen, the spleen enlarges, and/or severe bleeding occurs in the esophagus.

What causes narrowing of portal vein?

Portal vein obstruction most commonly results from thrombosis or, to a lesser extent, from malignancy. It also occurs as a complication of several metabolic and autoimmune diseases. Anticoagulation and transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) are the mainstays of treatment.

What causes increased pressure in the portal vein?

Portal hypertension is an increase in the pressure within the portal vein (the vein that carries blood from the digestive organs to the liver). The increase in pressure is caused by a blockage in the blood flow through the liver.
