Splanchnic vein thrombosis (SVT) in pancreatic disease has a 20%-30% incidence rate, leading to increased mortality and complication rates. Therefore, the aim of this review is to summarize recent evidence about the incidence, risk factors, and management of pancreatic cancer, pancreatic cystic neoplasm-, and pancreatitis-related SVT. Doppler ultrasound should be the first imaging choice, followed by contrast-enhanced computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging.

Objective This study aims to utilize the TriNetX database, a comprehensive global network, to improve our understanding of the frequency, demographic factors, and related comorbidities of surgical patients who develop venous thromboembolism (VTEs) events. Methods The global collaborative network in TriNetX was queried for all cases from January 1, 2017, through December 31, 2023. International Classification for Disease (ICD) diagnosis codes were used to define patient cohorts with deep vein thrombosis (DVT) of the upper or lower extremity or pulmonary embolism (PE).

Obesity is a recognized risk factor for venous thromboembolism (VTE), associated with distinct challenges in managing anticoagulation therapy. There is still limited evidence regarding the impact of extreme body weight on the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, efficacy, and safety of various anticoagulant medications. To our knowledge, this is the first comprehensive review to address both prophylactic and therapeutic anticoagulant dosages specifically for managing VTE in patients with a body mass index (BMI) ≥40 kg/m or weight ≥120 kg.

Background/aim: The incidence and characteristics of pediatric thrombotic events have become increasingly recognized, due to the enhanced utilization of advanced diagnostic techniques. Pediatric thrombosis remains less frequent than in adults, often manifesting in those with underlying congenital or acquired risk factors. This study aimed to establish epidemiological data on pediatric thrombotic events in Bihor County, Romania, highlighting the challenges of diagnosis in smaller medical centers and proposing a relevant diagnostic and treatment algorithm.
