Summary: Aim: Purpose of this study was to evaluate and to compare the treatment of patients with acute portal vein thrombosis (PVT) in a group with liver cirrhosis and in group without cirrhosis. Patients were treated with TIPS. The data in this study were collected retrospectivly and prospectivly. Methods: Patients with PVT were selected from the group of patients treated with TIPS procedure between years 2000 and 2019. Patients with chronic PVT and portal cavernoma and patients with tumorous thrombosis were excluded. Patients with acute PVT were divided into two groups - group with liver cirrhosis (LC) and group without cirrhosis. We evaluated size and localization of thrombus. In a group of patients who underwent thrombolysis (TL) for the portal vein (PV) recanalisation we evaluated amount and severity of hemorrhagic complications. We also evaluated primary patency, primary assisted patency and secondary patency of shunt. Thirty-day and 1-year mortality was observed in the group with the LC and without LC and survival was assessed in the whole group and separately in both subgroups. We used the same technique to gain access to PV in all patients. Shunt in the liver parenchyma was created using bare metal stent or stentgraft. Results: The whole group with acute PVT treated with TIPS consisted of 74...
