A small proportion of patients may remain asymptomatic for prolonged periods because of sufficient collateral compensation; however, most develop complications of portal hypertension when collateral flow is inadequate, including gastroesophageal variceal bleeding and ascites. Among these, gastroesophageal variceal bleeding is the most life-threatening, and its management is more challenging-with a higher risk of rebleeding-than in patients without portal vein thrombosis.\n\nOcclusive portal vein thrombosis (OPVT) is defined as complete thrombosis of the main portal vein trunk, resulting in total interruption of portal venous inflow and representing the most severe form of portal vein thrombosis.

Among these, gastroesophageal variceal bleeding is the most life-threatening, and its management is more challenging-with a higher risk of rebleeding-than in patients without portal vein thrombosis.\n\nTransjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) is an effective minimally invasive therapy for portal hypertension-related complications; however, in OPVT, technical feasibility largely depends on successful portal vein recanalization. To improve TIPS success in OPVT, our group-together with domestic and international investigators-has explored several adjunctive access routes and technical modifications, including percutaneous transhepatic or transsplenic portal vein recanalization TIPS (PVR-TIPS); transjugular portal cavernous collateral-caval shunt (TCCS); transjugular mesenteric-caval shunt (TMCS); transjugular spleno-caval shunt (TSCS); and surgically assisted hybrid procedures. Although these strategies have improved technical success rates to some extent, their applicability remains limited. In patients with extensive thrombosis involving intrahepatic portal vein branches, in those without a feasible splenic venous puncture route, or in patients with prior splenectomy, percutaneous transhepatic and transsplenic approaches are often not possible. Moreover, in patients with poor hepatic reserve and\u002For ascites, laparotomy-assisted hybrid procedures substantially increase invasiveness and perioperative risk.\n\nIn this context, the present project aims to systematically investigate and evaluate ultrasound-guided percutaneous mesenteric vein (MV) puncture as an adjunctive access strategy for interventional treatment of OPVT. This technique uses ultrasound-guided percutaneous puncture of the MV to establish antegrade portal venous access, thereby facilitating subsequent portal vein recanalization and\u002For shunt creation.",[27,28,29],"Occlusive Portal Vein Thrombosis (OPVT)","Cavernous Transformation of Portal Vein","Gastroesophageal Varices Bleeding",[31,28,32,33,34],"Occlusive portal vein thrombosis (OPVT)","Esophageal and gastric variceal bleeding","Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt","Superior Mesenteric Vein","NOT_YET_RECRUITING","2026-06-18",{"date":38,"type":39},"2026-06-24","ACTUAL",{"date":41,"type":21},"2026-07-01",{"date":43,"type":21},"2028-06-30",{"name":45,"class":46},"Air Force Military Medical University, China","OTHER"]
