RESUMO
This case study presents a liver transplantation (LT) in a patient with incidentally, intraoperatively detected complete portal vein thrombosis (PVT), classified as YERDEL stage 4, challenging traditional surgical boundaries. The patient's resilience and the innovative approach adopted by the surgical team exemplify the evolving complexities of LT in the context of advanced PVT. This report underscores the significance of detailed case documentation in medical literature, especially for complex transplant scenarios. It contributes to a broader understanding of surgical techniques and patient-centered approaches in LT. The narrative highlights the dynamic interplay between surgical advancements and vascular complications, advocating for the refinement of surgical methods and a reevaluation of conventional perspectives in transplantation. This case is pivotal in illustrating medical progress and the persistent pursuit of better outcomes in complex transplant situations.
