  23. PVT and Cirrhosis: Why to treat? • To prevent aggravation ? • To facilitate transplantation

  24. Portal Vein Thrombosis Clinical results of anticoagulant therapy • In patients without cirrhosis • In patients with cirrhosis

  25. 60 40 Recanalization (%) 20 0 0 3 6 9 12 15 18 Time to recanalization (months) Acute PVT: Complete Recanalization Pts at risk:

  26. Chronic Portal Vein Thrombosis Anticoagulation Anticoagulation yes yes no no 17 6.0 p = 0.212 per 100 patients per year p = 0.015 7 1.2 Bleeding Thrombosis Condat et al. Gastroenterology 2001; 120:490

  28. Patients on the Waiting List for LTx PVT before transplantation (n = 29) No anticoagulation (n = 10) Anticoagulation (n = 19) Recanalization (n = 8) Recanalization (n = 0) Francoz, Gut 2005

  29. TIPS for PVT in Cirrhosis • Limited data • Feasible and safe • Risk of obstruction unclear • Risk of encephalopathy unclear • Benefit unclear Senzolo Alim Pharmacol Therap 2006. Van Ha Cardiovasc Intervent Radiol 2006. Bauer Liver Transplant 2006

  30. PVT and Cirrhosis: Summary • Common in end-stage cirrhosis • Uncommon in well-compensated cirrhosis • Causal factors: surgery, stasis, thrombophilias • A marker for severity: certainly • A cause for aggravation: uncertain • A limitation for liver transplantation: certainly

  31. PVT and Cirrhosis: What we do in Beaujon Objectives: Recanalization (recent thrombus) Prevention of thrombus extension Indications: → Child A with thrombophilia → Patients listed for LTx Monitoring: Anti-Xa 0.5 U/ml Factor II 25% to 35%

  32. Hemostasis in Cirrhosis • Normal thrombin generation in platelet-poor plasma. • Decreased thrombin generation in severely thrombocytopenic blood. • Elevated levels of vWF support platelet adhesion despite reduced functional capacities. Caldwell. Hepatology 2006

  33. INR in Patients with Cirrhosis • Not related to prothrombin levels along the same regression line as for Vitamin K antagonists. • Due to uncarboxylated metabolites of coagulation factors • Interlaboratory variability. → Adjustment based on Factor II level 25-35%?

  34. Patients on the Waiting List for LTx PVT before transplantation 24 Partial 21 Complete 3 Recanalization 0 Recanalization* 15 * No post-OLT PVT Francoz, ILTS 2008
