Visceral Vein Thrombosis

Visceral vein thrombosis can affect people with pancreatic cancer. It happens when blood clots form in veins near the pancreas, like the portal or splenic veins. Symptoms may include abdominal pain, swelling, and digestive changes. In severe cases, it can block blood flow to vital organs, causing serious complications. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial to managing this condition and improving outcomes.
