Core Tip

Core Tip: This retrospective study included 1064 patients who underwent hepatectomy to investigate the incidence, risk factors, and outcomes associated with post-hepatectomy portal vein thrombosis (PH-PVT). This study meticulously examined the risk factors contributing to PH-PVT, with an aim of guiding clinicians in recognizing and preventing its occurrence. Furthermore, this study (for the first time) analyzed the mortality risk factors for PH-PVT to provide invaluable insights for the effective management of affected patients.
