To assess the frequency, natural history and prognostic implication of ascites in patients with EPVT and to identify risk factors for this complication.A single-centre retrospective study of consecutive patients diagnosed with noncirrhotic nonmalignant EPVT between 1985 and 2009.One hundred and three patients [35% males; median age 43 (range 16-83) years] were included and followed up for a median time of 5.2 (range 0.9-32.5) years. Twenty-nine (28%) had ascites at the time of diagnosis. Overall survival was 91% at 5 years vs. 80% at 10 years. Survival in patients presenting with and without ascites was 83% vs. 95% at 5 years and 42% vs. 87% at 10 years (P = or0.01). There was no correlation between the presence of ascites and extension of the thrombus into the large splanchnic veins, duration of thrombosis or presence of gastrointestinal bleeding.Ascites is present in a quarter of patients presenting with noncirrhotic nonmalignant extrahepatic portal vein thrombosis. Ascites is a significant and independent prognostic factor and it is associated with a decreased long-term survival. |
