Sex: All
Ages: 18 Years – N/A
Healthy volunteers: No
Enrollment: 150
Sponsor: M.D. Anderson Cancer Center

Location: M D Anderson Cancer Center Houston Texas

Summary

This study collects information about the safety and effect of portal vein stenting in gastrointestinal cancer patients with portal vein stenosis. This study may help researchers learn how long the portal vein stays open and free from blockage and the effects of portal vein stenting on patients' overall well-being.

Patients will be considered eligible for porto-mesenteric venous stenting (PVS) if: * There is \> 75% porto-mesenteric venous stenosis in either main portal vein (PV), left PV, right PV, or the superior mesenteric vein (SMV), even in absence of symptoms of portal hypertension * Patients presented with any degree of vascular narrowing of said vessels and symptomatic portal hypertension including variceal bleeding, refractory ascites, abdominal pain, intestinal edema, or diarrhea after exclusion of tumor-related causes as direct tumor invasion or peritoneal dissemination * COHORT B: Patients who have thrombosis/stenosis of the main portal vein but who did not undergo stenting
