LIN, MD M esenteric venous thrombosis (MVT) is an uncommon condition associated with significant mortality and morbidity, due in part to nonspecific presentations and frequent delays in diagnosis. The traditional management has been medical treatment with anticoagulation. Surgery is reserved for patients who have failed medical therapy or who present with signs of mesenteric ischemia.
