Title: The clinical applicability of percutaneous splenic vein stent implantation for pancreatic
portal hypertension
Version: 2 Date: 06 Feb 2022
Reviewer's report:
This manuscript was submitted to the BMC Gastroenterology .
The authors insisted “The clinical applicability of percutaneous splenic vein stent implantation
for pancreatic portal hypertension”
Actually, this paper is thought to be worth reading but remains some questions and needs some
revisions.
Indications for stent placement and splenectomy should be explained.
The clinical features of portal hypertension are thrombocytopenia and splenomegaly in addition
to the variceal formation.
In each group, readers want to know Pre- and postoperative changes of platelet count and spleen
volume (before operation, 1 month, 6 months, 1year after operation). Authors have to add two
figures of them.
"The splenic vein pressure was measured.(line 100)"
How did authors decide the indication of stent placement based on splenic vein pressure?
30mmHg? 20mmHg?
Authors have to mention the complications of stent placement.
In discussion section, authors have to mention regarding the comparison  pancreatic portal
hypertension with left-sided portal hypertension after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PMID:
31356273).
