Thrombosis of the Portal Venous System in Cirrhotic vs. Non-Cirrhotic Patients.
CONCLUSIONS: In cirrhotic patients, hepatocellular carcinoma and cirrhosis were the strongest risk factors to develop portal venous system thrombosis. In contrast, extrahepatic inflammatory conditions were main risk factors associated in non-cirrhotics. Moreover, the portal vein was the most frequent site of thrombosis in both groups.
