BACKGROUND & AIMS: Acute portal vein thrombosis (APVT) is a rare disorder that causes chronic portal hypertension if recanalization is not obtained. However, response to anticoagulation and long-term prognosis of APVT are not well-defined.
METHODS: Thirty-eight patients diagnosed with APVT between 1995 and 2003 from 5 Spanish referral hospitals, in whom cirrhosis and malignancy were specifically excluded, were included in this retrospective study. The response to anticoagulation therapy and development of portal hypertension-related complications during follow-up were evaluated.
RESULTS: Mean follow-up was 43 months (range, 6-112 months). Recanalization occurred in 12 of 27 patients receiving anticoagulation versus 0 of 11 patients who did not receive anticoagulation (P = .008). Rates of recanalization were influenced by the precocity of heparin administration and the number of underlying prothrombotic conditions. Follow-up upper endoscopy performed in 29 patients disclosed gastroesophageal varices in 16 (55%). Varices appeared as early as 1 month after APVT. However, in most patients varices were detected in successive endoscopies, mainly during the first year. Two-year actuarial probability of variceal bleeding was 12% and for ascites 16%. Five-year survival was 87%. Mortality was related to the APVT episode in 2 cases and to an underlying hematologic disorder in one.
CONCLUSIONS: Anticoagulation achieved recanalization in about 40% of patients. Most patients not achieving recanalization will develop gastroesophageal varices during follow-up. However, development of variceal bleeding and ascites is infrequent, and survival is satisfactory.
