[Portal anticoagulation in preventing thrombosis after porta-azygous devascularization for portal hypertension].
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.


CONCLUSIONS
Portal anticoagulation therapy is the effective in preventing portal thrombosis after porta-azygous devascularization for portal hypertension.
