Therapeutic anticoagulation after liver transplantation is not useful among patients with pre‐transplant Yerdel‐grade I/II portal vein thrombosis: A two‐center retrospective study

Abstract: Background Portal vein thrombosis (PVT) is no longer a contraindication for liver transplantation (LT). While therapeutic anticoagulation (tAC) is recommended during the waiting period, there is no evidence for its usefulness in the prevention of PVT recurrence after LT. Objectives The aim of our study was to evaluate the role of tAC post‐LT in the prevention of PVT recurrence. Patients/methods All adult LTs performed in two high‐volume centers between 2003 and 2018 were retrospectively analysed. Only patients… Show more

“…Research with regard to prevention of early and late thrombotic complications post LT has mainly focused on the use of aspirin, UFH, LMWH, and Vitamin K antagonists or a combination of these 16,17,27,30–33,35,38–40 . The incidence of bleeding associated with each of these agents in LT recipients is described below.…”
