Abstract:
Cavernous transformation of the portal vein (CTPV) is considered a rare condition. However, with the development of radiological technology, an increasing number of patients have been diagnosed with CTPV, thus causing wide attention in clinical practice. This article elaborates on the research advances in CTPV from etiology to treatment, discusses the etiology of portal vein thrombosis and the mechanism by which portal vein thrombosis leads to CTPV, and summarizes the clinical manifestations of CTPV and the main methods of diagnosing this disease. Besides, this article analyses various methods in treating CTPV, and believes that surgical shunts are still the most extensively used method in treating CTPV.
