Massive upper gastrointestinal bleeding due to splenoportal axis thrombosis in a patient with a tested JAK2 mutation: A case report and review literature.
Macias I.
Int J Surg Case Rep. 2016;28:93-96.
The primary myeloproliferative disorders are the main cause of portal venous thrombosis and somatic mutation of Janus Kinase 2 gene (JAK2 V617F) can be found in approximately 90% of polycythemia vera, 50% of essential thrombocyrosis and 50% primary myelofibrosis.

Ann Hepatol. 2006;5(3):157-60.
We present two cases of Budd- Chiari syndrome with severe ascites associated with polycythemia vera in first case and protein C deficiency in the second, in both cases transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt were placed, with excellent control of symptoms, no mortality were observed, and just one episode of pulmonary venous thrombosis was observed.
