Treatment of mesenteric vein thrombosis with transjugular mechanical thrombectomy and subsequent simultaneous arterial and venous thrombolysis
Author
Summary, in English
Mesenteric vein thrombosis may induce intestinal ischemia and gangrene. In severe cases, it is necessary to restore venous outflow from the small intestine rapidly. We describe a severe case of mesenteric vein thrombosis that was resolved successfully by mechanical thrombectomy from a transjugular approach followed by selective simultaneous venous and arterial thrombolysis via the superior mesenteric vein and artery. In conclusion, the transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic approach was a feasible and safe access for mechanical thrombectomy and thrombolysis of the mesenteric vein in our patient.
