Background: In cirrhotic patients, portal hypertension increases mortality after surgery. We evaluated the impact of pre-operative transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) on the outcomes of bariatric surgery in cirrhosis.
Methods: Multicentric retrospective cohort.
Article Synopsis
- A study examined the risk of new thrombotic events in patients with non-cirrhotic portal vein thrombosis (NCPVT) linked to local factors after stopping anticoagulation therapy.
- Out of 154 patients assessed, a significant portion had high-risk prothrombotic factors, with new thrombotic events occurring in 17 patients during a median follow-up of 52 months.
- The results suggest that high-risk factors increase the likelihood of new thrombosis, while continuous anticoagulation treatment may reduce these risks effectively.
