Introduction. Hemostasis disorders presented in the form of thrombosis in various vascular territories are one of the main causes of death against the background of COVID-19. Their threat persists even after recovery as part of the post-COVID syndrome. Recent studies demonstrate that the development of thromboin-flammatory syndrome is possible not only in the lungs. At the same time, the frequency of revealed venous thrombosis is 10–35% and 60% according to autopsy data. One of the localizations of venous thrombosis in COVID-19 may be the portal system. Portal vein thrombosis is a rarely diagnosed disease that remains asymptomatic for a long period, which makes its timely diagnosis difficult. At the same time, the prognosis for PVT is mostly unfavorable with deaths occurring in half of the cases.The purpose of the study is to demonstrate the features of diagnosis and treatment of PVT on the example of a clinical case in a patient who had a mild coronavirus infection.Description of clinical case. The article describes a clinical case of diagnosis and successful treatment of extended thrombosis of the portal, splenic and superior mesenteric veins against the background of direct anticoagulant therapy and thrombolysis by means of the percutaneous transhepatic portal access. The disease in patient K.V.A., 49 years old who had a moderate coronavirus infection (liver disease and congenital thrombophilia as a cause of thrombosis are excluded) was complicated by spleen infarcts, hydroperitoneum, partial small bowel obstruction.Conclusion. This clinical case is of interest for the possibility of a successful combination of anticoagulant and regional thrombolytic therapy without surgical intervention in complicated thrombosis of the portal vein and its tributaries in a patient in the post-COVID period, and also dictates the need for a personalized approach to the duration and choice of doses of anticoagulant therapy after a COVID-19 infection.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
