Acute Venous Thromboembolism Is Common Following Acute Necrotizing Pancreatitis and Is Associated With Worse Clinical Outcomes

Although splanchnic vein thrombosis (SVT) is a well-known local complication of acute pancreatitis, extrasplanchnic venous thromboembolism (ESVT) is inadequately studied. Here, we aim to explore the incidence of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in acute necrotizing pancreatitis (ANP) and the associated mortality.
