Background: Chronic total occlusion (CTO) of the portal vein is one of the main causes of portal hypertension, which may result in life-threatening complications often managed by interventional radiology (IR). The aim of this study is to report the innovative experience with percutaneous revascularization therapy in the management of portal vein CTO in paediatric and adult patients.
Materials And Methods: From January 2020 to December 2023 consecutive paediatric and adult patients with severe portal hypertension resulting from portal vein CTO who underwent attempts at percutaneous recanalization were retrospectively reviewed.

Portal cavernoma cholangiopathy (PCC), also known as portal biliopathy, refers to biliary duct abnormalities caused by extrahepatic portal vein obstruction (EHPVO) and subsequent cavernous transformation of the portal vein. Pseudotumoral portal cavernoma is a specific subtype of PCC characterized by the presence of numerous thin collateral veins that mimic the sheath of the common bile duct (CBD). We present a case of a 42-year-old women with pseudotumoral portal cavernoma secondary to portal vein thrombosis, a complication of myeloproliferative disorder.

Portal vein thrombosis (PVT) is a frequent event among patients with advanced liver disease, with a prevalence reaching up to 26% in those awaiting liver transplantation (LT). Extensive thrombosis affecting the mesenteric vein confluence correlates with increased morbidity and mortality post-LT, particularly when it impedes physiological anastomosis or contraindicates the LT. Current guidelines advocate for routine PVT screening in all potential liver transplant candidates and prompt treatment upon detection.

Portal cavernoma cholangiopathy (PCC) is a complex condition associated with portal hypertension, particularly in patients with extrahepatic portal vein obstruction (EHPVO). Herein, we present a case of liver failure with PCC in a 55-year-old male successfully treated with living-donor liver transplantation (LDLT). The patient had a history of gastrointestinal bleeding and recurrence of cholangitis.
