Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To study the prevention method for thrombosis after porta-azygous devascularization for portal hypertension. METHODS:71 patients with portal hypertension due to cirrhosis were divided into group A (36 patients) and group B (35 patients). In group A, a anticoagulation tube was inserted via splenic vein branch during shunt and anticoagulation therapy was given after operation. RESULTS: All the patients received color Doppler examination 3 months after operation. No thrombosis occurred in the group A and thrombosis occurred in 13 patients (37.14%) in the group B. CONCLUSION:Portal anticoagulation therapy is the effective in preventing portal thrombosis after porta-azygous devascularization for portal hypertension.
