BACKGROUND
Portal venous system thrombosis (PVST) is a rare, potentially fatal complication after pancreatic resection. The aim of this study was to assess the incidence, presenting symptoms, management, and treatment of PVST in a large cohort of patients.
METHODS
Prospectively collected data on

Venous thromboembolism prophylaxis remains underutilized in hospitalized medical patients at high risk for venous thromboembolism. We previously reported that a multifaceted intervention was associated with a sustained increase in appropriate thromboprophylaxis and reduced symptomatic
Historically, humans have long sought to enhance their "athletic" performance to increase body weight, aggressiveness, mental concentration and physical strength, contextually reducing fatigue, pain, and improving recovery. Although regular training is the mainstay for achieving these targets, the
BACKGROUND Recent studies demonstrated evidence of coagulation dysfunction in hospitalized patients with severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) due to excessive inflammation, hypoxia, platelet activation, endothelial dysfunction, and stasis. Effective anticoagulation therapy may play a dominant
Health-related quality of life (QoL) has been associated with several social and medical conditions in patients with deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE). To the best of our knowledge, there is no study investigating the relationship of QoL with psychological variables in this
Pyogenic liver abscess (PLA) complicated by inferior vena caval (IVC) thrombosis is rare but life-threatening. We experienced a case of PLA complicated by an IVC thrombus close to the right atrium after pancreatoduodenectomy. A 75-year-old man had undergone pancreatoduodenectomy with modified-Child
A 35-year-old man who previously underwent splenectomy for hereditary spherocytosis at age 29 visited our hospital complaining of fatigue that had started 7 days ago and right upper abdominal pain. Laboratory data showed increased white blood cell and eosinophil count accompanied by severe
An 85-year-old man with persistent atrial flutter (AFL) with slow ventricular rate of 44/min, causing fatigue and presyncope, was referred for urgent treatment. In spite of thromboembolic risk scale value 4, he had not been treated with anticoagulants because of high risk of bleeding. The decision
We aimed to compare the long-term results of three different strategies for treatment of patients with primary (spontaneous or effort related) subclavian vein thrombosis (PSVT). We followed 45 consecutive patients who had been treated for PSVT receiving either oral anticoagulant therapy only (n =
Background: Rivaroxaban was the first new oral anticoagulant approved for treatment of venous thromboembolism (VTE). Clinical trials have shown that rivaroxaban is noninferior to conventional anticoagulation for VTE in efficacy and
Although splenectomy is often performed along with en bloc node dissection in gastric cancer surgery, portal/splenic vein thrombosis (PSVT) has been rarely reported. We recently encountered a case of PSVT after a splenectomy was performed during gastric cancer surgery. A 53-year-old woman underwent
Tumor thrombus in the portal vein can rarely originate from gastric cancer via hematogenous spread, with only few case reports published in the literature. Isolated superior mesenteric vein tumor thrombus in gastric cancer has not been previously reported. A 61-year-old male patient who had
"Effort" thrombosis, also called the Paget-Schroetter syndrome or primary thrombosis of the upper extremity, has been well documented in the literature. However, in our review of the United States, Canadian, and British literature, we found only 52 cases in which it was related to sports
We report a 57-year-old previously healthy man who presented with dull right upper quadrant pain, weight loss, fatigue, and night sweats. Computed tomography demonstrated a large, heterogeneously enhancing, soft tissue mass with no macroscopic fat above the right kidney with tumor thrombus extending
Aortic thrombosis represents a consequence of atherosclerotic disease. In few cases, it can be secondary to large vessel or infective vasculitis. More rarely, aortic thrombosis is the manifestation of a primary malignant neoplasm of the aortic wall. Aortic angiosarcoma is a rare
