Stent insertion and balloon angioplasty for portal vein stenosis after liver transplantation: long-term follow-up results.
CONCLUSION: Stent insertion can be considered when fibrotic changes are expected due to repeated inflammation and when the balloon size to be used is small. Balloon angioplasty seems less risky for anastomotic ruptures in portal vein stenosis in the early post liver transplantation period.
