Core Tip
Core Tip: This prospective study evaluated patients by contrast-enhanced computed tomography (E-CT) on the first day after liver resection for early portal vein thrombosis (PVT) detection and immediate management. Sectionectomy on the left side should be treated with caution as it showed the highest risk of PVT. E-CT on the first day and immediate anticoagulant therapy were effective in managing early-phase PVT for 2 mo without adverse events.
