The complexity and wide spectrum of the clinical picture in patients suffering from vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia demand an early interdisciplinary diagnostic and therapeutic approach. Severe cases of portomesenteric thrombosis in vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia, refractory to conservative management, may require additional placement of a transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt, thrombaspiration, thrombolysis, and surgical intervention for effective management.
