Hi
Portal vein thrombosis(PVT) is a common clinical condition affecting portal vein.
It is caused by Cirrhosis,pancreatitis,diverticulitis etc.
Anticoagulant should be used to dissolve the clot.
No one can predict the collateral vein duration.
Portal vein clot sometimes take longer time to get dissolved.
Please consult a senior Gastroenterologist and proceed.
Wish him speedy recovery
