Une thrombose portale est assez souvent observée chez le cirrhotique [...] Cette thrombose portale est généralement diagnostiquée par les examens préopératoires, en particulier l'échographie. Si elle est complète, elle est une contra-indication à une anastomose porto-cave, indiquant un autre type de dérivation. [...] En cas de thrombose récente, la veine porte doit être disséquée sur toute sa longueur, vers le haut et vers le bas, ce qui peut être rendu difficile par l'inflammation du pédicule. 2, record 1, French, - thrombose%20de%20la%20veine%20porte

In the acute phase [of portal vein thrombosis], the portal vein is enlarged and has a CT attenuation value equal to that of unopacified blood on noncontrast images; it does not demonstrate central enhancement with contrast. Rarely, the thrombus may be of higher attenuation which is typical of freshly clotted blood. There may be segmental or focal decrease in hepatic enhancement to the segment(s) supplied by the occluded portal vein branches. 1, record 3, English, - hepatic%20enhancement
