further bowel infarction, all had improvement of abdominal symptoms, and five patients were able to discontinue anticoagulation at 6 months. Two patients experienced encephalopathy after TIPS, two required stent revision for thrombosis, one required stent downsizing for encephalopathy and one underwent stent downsize to maintain anterograde hepatic flow in an asymptomatic patient. Conclusions: PMVT is a potentially life-threatening complication of bariatric surgery that may lead to bowel ischemia and infarction. TIPS, thrombolysis and thrombectomy are valuable treatment options in the setting of acute thrombotic disease with positive patient outcomes. Further comparison with patients who underwent conservative management for symptomatic PMVT after bariatric surgery will be performed.

Conclusions: Despite similar outcomes of mortality, length of stay and disposition, significant differences exist in total charges for uterine artery embolization admissions based on hospital ownership (private vs non-profit vs government owned), size (large vs medium and small) and region (west vs northeast).
