Abstract:Objective:To discuss the risk factors of portal vein thrombosis (PVT) after the operation in patients with portal hypertension.Methods:The clinical data of 153 cases of hepatic cirrhosis complicated with portal hypertension receiving disconnection from January 2006 to December 2010 in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed.All cases were divided into two groups according to formation of portal vein thrombosis.Single factor analysis and Logistic regression analysis were applied to analyze the risk factors such as age,sex,having hematemesis or not before the operation,operation time,intraoperative blood loss volume,diameter of the portal vein,blood flow speed of the portal vein,blood platelet count and prothrombin time.Results:The formation rate of PVT was 18.30%(28/153).The diameter of the portal vein was widened significantly,blood flow speed of the portal vein was descended obviously and blood platelet count was increased remarkably in the portal vein thrombosis group compared with those in the non portal vein thrombosis group (P<0.05).Logistic regression analysis indicated that the diameter of the portal vein and the postoperative blood flow speed of the portal vein were the independent risk factors of PVT after the operation.Conclusion:The widening of the protal vein diameter and the descending of the portal vein flow speed are the main causes of PVT after the operation of disconnection.
