Abstract:
Portal vein thrombosis (PVT) is commonly seen in patients with liver cirrhosis. Patients with varices complicated by portal vein thrombosis are more likely to experience bleeding, with higher failure rate of hemostasis and rebleeding rate, and the patients receiving liver transplantation may have a poorer prognosis. There are various risk factors for portal vein thrombosis, such as severity of liver dysfunction, use of non-selective beta blockers, and portal vein blood flow velocity. This article reviews the risk factors for portal vein thrombosis in patients with liver cirrhosis, in order to further understand the mechanism and risk level of portal vein thrombosis.
