Figure 1. Patient survival and portal vein thrombosis (PVT). (a) PVT was associated with significantly reduced survival at approximately 6 months. Early perioperative survival (i.e., 90-day) was not significantly different, but divergence in survival occurred at 6 months; (b) there was no difference in survival between those with pre-liver transplantation diagnosis (pre-PVT) and those with "occult" PVT (OR PVT). Results for graft survival demonstrated the similar findings. On multivariate analysis [Table 3], PVT was not an independent predictor of survival
