Patients were followed for 12 months to calculate bleeding and recurrence rates. PVT was classified as non-extending or extending, based on the anatomical location and extent.

During follow-up, 201 (55.5%) experienced bleeding, with a 63.7% recurrence rate in the initial bleeding group. Extended PVT and SMVT-positive patients were significantly more likely to have higher baseline bleeding rates, 12-month bleeding rates, and recurrence rates compared with non-extended and SMVT-negative patients (all\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.05).
