dc.description.abstractPortal vein thrombosis (PVT) occurs in up to 17.9% of patients awaiting liver transplantation. It may impact post-liver transplantation survival negatively. The liver transplant procedures performed in our transplant center between January 2020 and June 2021 were screened. Data were collected retrospectively from the electronic folder system. Data, including causes of mortality, recipient gender, age, transplant indication, presence of hepatocellular carcinoma, rejection episodes, number of days in the intensive care unit, hospitalization duration, and complications, were recorded. Patients with no PVT constituted the control group. Patients with PVT were considered as the study group. Student’s t-test and the Mann-Whitney U test were used to evaluate the significance of the difference between study groups. Overall, 223 liver transplants were performed within the study period. Three re-transplants were excluded from the study. The analysis of 220 liver transplant patients revealed that 18.2% (n=20) of the patients presented with a PVT before liver transplantation. Patients with PVT had a higher rate of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis as an indication of a liver transplant. In addition, the presence of PVT significantly increased surgical mortality and early rejection rates. In correlation with this, the intensive care unit stay was longer in the patient group with PVT. Although the early surgical mortality post-liver transplant was higher in the group with PVT, the underlying variables could not be identified in this study. Nevertheless, the late mortality rates were not higher in patients with PVT following liver transplantationen_US
