Findings of the portal vein thrombosis 20 days after the initiation of edoxaban. The portal vein thrombosis (PVT) (White arrowheads) was markedly shrunk. The cephalic end of the PVT was no longer observed in the right or left portal vein although very small residue was observed in the left portal vein (a). The stenosis caused by the PVT was markedly improved either in the portal trunk (b) or in the confluence of the superior mesenteric vein and the splenic vein (c). Furthermore, the caudal end of the PVT was markedly withdrawn cephalically compared to the prior evaluation (d). (CHD common hepatic duct; and CBD common bile duct)
