Prevention of portal venous system thrombosis after splenectomy and devasculation / 中华肝胆外科杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the causes and prevention measures for patients with portal hypertension hypersplenism undergone splenectomy plus pericardial devascularization and post-operative portal vein thrombosis (portal vein thrombogenesis,PVT).Methods 178 cases of splenectomy plus devascularization from July 2013 to May 1994 in Cangzhou Central Hospital of Hebei Province,including 102 cases of early postoperative application of low molecular heparin anticoagulant for the prevention group,76 cases without anticoagulant medicine as control group.33 cases with PVT found by B ultrasound or CT scan,were treated with urokinase body intravenous thrombolysis,hepatic artery catheterization thrombolysis,intestinal resection of + Fogarty catheter embolectomy vein stump treatment respectively.Results The total incidence of thrombosis was 18.5％ (33/178),prevention group was 8.8％ (9/102),including 7 cases in grade Ⅰ,Ⅲ,Ⅳ thrombus,in 1 cases,no intestine necrosis.The control group thrombosis rate was 31.6％ (24/76),including 7 cases in grade Ⅰ,Ⅲ,Ⅳ,thrombosis in 17 cases,5 cases of intestine necrosis,two groups of thrombosis rate were significantly differences (x2 =14.932,P =0.000).Thrombus disappeared completely in 7 cases,the thrombus grading decreased in 2 cases in the preventive group after thrombolysis,and thrombus disappeared completely in 6 cases,11 cases of thrombosis degraded in the control group after treatment of thrombolysis,1 case cured by TIPS with thrombolysis and thrombectomy,1 case died of sudden digestive tract bleeding,Among 5 cases of intestinal necrosis,4 cases died and 1 case undergone abdominal exploration being found with intestine & colon necrosis.Conclusions There are a variety of factors causing PVT after splenectomy and devascularization.Early anticoagulation can significantly reduce the incidence of PVT,early discovery and treatment can prevent severe outcome.
