Reconstructing the portal vein through a posterior pancreatic tunnel: New choice for portal vein thrombosis during liver transplantation

Table 2 Vascular anatomical changes in the portal vein system of cases with portal vein thrombosis (n = 7)

Case	Left gastric vein (coronary vein)				Esophagogastric fundus vein		Superior mesenteric vein		Splenic vein		Shunt situation
	Drain into the main portal vein	Drain into the confluence of SMV and SpV	Drain into SpV	Maximum diameter of the blood vessel (mm)	Degree of varicose veins	History of upper gastrointestinal bleeding	With or without thrombus	Maximum diameter (mm)	With or without thrombus	Maximum diameter (mm)	With or without splenorenal shunt	Maximum diameter of the shunt (mm)	With or without umbilical vein opening

Maximum vessel diameter is measured based on contrast-enhanced computed tomography. SMV: Superior mesenteric vein; SpV: Splenic vein.
