Meta Analysis
Efficacy and safety of thrombolytic therapy for portal venous system thrombosis: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
The role of thrombolytic therapy in patients with portal venous system thrombosis (PVST) remains ambiguous. This study aimed to systematically collect available evidence and evaluate the efficacy and safety of thrombolysis for PVST. ⋯ Early initiation of thrombolysis should be effective for the treatment of PVST. But its benefits for PVST secondary to acute pancreatitis are weakened.
