Abstract
|
|
Introduction:
Portal vein thrombosis (PVT) is a relatively uncommon complication after sleeve gastrectomy.
Case Report: A 33-year-old female underwent an uncomplicated laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy for the treatment of morbid obesity, and presented on postoperative day-14 with epigastric pain. Computed tomography scan revealed left portal vein thrombosis. She promptly improved after initiation of low-molecular-weight heparin and was discharged on hospital day-5 with oral warfarin. Conclusion: Although uncommon, PVT should be included in the differential diagnosis for unexplained abdominal symptoms after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy | |
