Overview

Medical therapy for portal vein thrombosis include anticoagulation to maintain INR between 2 to 3. The goal of anticoagulation is to prevent extension of the clot and to allow for recanalization so that intestinal infarction and portal hypertension do not develop.

Medical Therapy

Pharmacologic therapy is recommended among patients with portal vein thrombosis without cirrhosis.[1][2][3]

  • The following factors should be considered with treartment of portal vein thrombosis:[4][5][6]
    • Correction of the causal factors
    • Prevention of thrombosis extension
    • Achievement of portal vein patency
    • Management of complications related to portal hypertension
    • Management of complications related to portal cholangiopathy[7]
    NOTE (1):Initiate anticougulation with heparin for 3-4 weeks then start oral vitamin K antagonist(e.g. warfarin) to maintain INR between 2 to 3.
    NOTE (2): Biliary abnormalities due to portal vein thrombosis are observed to be reversed after anti-coagulopathy therapy.
    NOTE (3): It is performed to initiate anticoagulation therapy early in course of disease.
    • Improves recanalization rates
    • Minimizes serious complication like peritonitis due to bowel necrosis
    • Decrease development of esophageal varices and complications associated with varices

Portal vein thrombosis

  • 1. Portal vein thrombosis with cirrhosis
