Anticoagulation and Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunting for Treatment of Portal Vein Thrombosis in Cirrhosis: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.


ABSTRACT: Portal vein thromboses (PVTs) are associated with hepatic decompensation, worse survival, and worse liver transplant outcomes. We evaluated the impact of anticoagulation (AC) and transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunting (TIPS) on recanalization and mortality in patients with cirrhosis and PVT. Systematic search of electronic databases was performed. Clinical trials and observational studies that evaluated primary outcomes of recanalization and survival in patients with cirrhosis having PVT treated with AC or TIPS were included. Risk of bias was assessed. Summary odds ratios (ORs) for pooled data from the included studies were generated using a random effects model. A total of 505 studies were screened for inclusion. After review, 7 studies were ultimately included. Data from 327 patients in total were evaluated. Overall, treatment with either AC or TIPS resulted in partial or complete recanalization (OR: 4.56 [95% confidence interval, CI: 2.46-8.47]) but did not significantly impact mortality (OR: 0.57 [95% CI: 0.21-1.57]). The summary OR of AC for recanalization was 6.00 (95% CI: 2.38-15.07). The summary OR of TIPS for recanalization was 3.80 (95% CI: 1.47-9.83). The summary OR of mortality in patients treated with AC for PVT was 0.28 (95% CI: 0.08-0.95). The mortality summary OR was 1.10 (95% CI 0.23-5.16) in patients who underwent TIPS. There was insufficient data to assess complications such as hepatic encephalopathy or bleeding. Both AC and TIPS have a significant effect on recanalization. Anticoagulation appears to have a protective effect on mortality that is not seen with TIPS. More studies with control groups are need.
