Research advances in the treatment of portal vein thrombosis and gastrointestinal bleeding in patients with liver cirrhosis / 临床肝胆病杂志

ABSTRACT

Portal vein thrombosis (PVT) in patients with liver cirrhosis has attracted more and more attention in recent years, and it can increase portal venous pressure in patients with liver cirrhosis, aggravate esophageal and gastric varices, and even lead to rupture and bleeding. This article reviews the advances in the epidemiology, mechanism, and treatment of PVT with gastrointestinal bleeding in patients with liver cirrhosis under different conditions in China and globally. There are still controversies over the specific treatment method for PVT with gastrointestinal bleeding and the dose and course of anticoagulants at home and abroad, and a large number of high-evidence studies are still needed to clarify the detailed treatment methods for such diseases in the future.
