Abstract:
ObjectiveTo evaluate the effect of early anticoagulation therapy in the prevention of portal venous system thrombosis (PVT) in portal hypertensive patients undergoing splenectomy plus portaazygous devascularization. MethodsAt our hospital from August 1994 to July 2011,157 patients underwent splenectomy plus devascularization. Among them 89 cases (beginning 2000 )receiving intravenous low molecular dextran 500 ml daily for 7 days starting immediately postoperatively,and after 48 h subcutaneously low molecular weight heparin calcium 4250 U every 12 hours for 7 - 14 d were in group A.Before 2000,the 68 cases receiving no postoperative anticoagulation therapy were in the control group (B).After 3 - 12 months follow-up,PVT was evaluated and compared between the two groups. ResultsIn group A thrombosis incidence was 8％ (7/89),of which class Ⅰ, Ⅱ thrombosis accounted for 71％(5/7),class Ⅲ and up thrombosis accounted for 29％ (2/7),there was no bowel necrosis case; In group B thrombosis incidence was 29％ (20/68),class Ⅰ,Ⅱ thrombosis accounted for 20％ (4/20),class Ⅲand above thrombosis accounted for 80％ (16/20),3 cases suffered from intestinal necrosis,the difference was statistically significant (P ＜ 0.01 ). ConclusionsMultifactors lead to postoperative PVT formation,early postoperative,anticoagulation therapy is safe,and effective in the prevention of postoperative PVT.
