Daniel Gaballa, Dmitri Bezinover, Zakiyah Kadry, Elaine Eyster, Ming Wang, Patrick G. Northup, Jonathan G. Stine – 22 August 2019 – Portal vein thrombosis (PVT) is associated with inferior pretransplantation and posttransplantation outcomes. We aimed to create a predictive model to risk stratify transplant candidates for PVT. Data on adult transplants in the United States during the Model for End‐Stage Liver Disease (MELD) era through September 2016 were reviewed.
