Objective To evaluate the CT findings and causes of thrombosis formation after transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS). Methods One hundred forty-two patients with cirrhosis after TIPS were included. The imaging features of thrombus in the stent after TIPS were recorded and causes of thrombosis formation were analyzed. The presence, location and amount of thrombus, the location of ends of TIPS stent were analyzed. Results The incidence of thrombosis formation after TIPS was 19.0% (27/142). The thrombus could locate around the upper end (7.4%), lower end (18.6%) of the stent and inside the stent (74.0%), there was significant differences in the incidence of stent thrombosis in different locations (P < 0.05). The thrombus might presented as little mural thrombus (12/27, 44.4%), marked thrombus (3/27, 11.1%) and thrombotic occlusion (12/27, 44.4%), there was a significant difference in the incidence of stent thrombosis with different thrombus volume (P < 0.05). There were stent outlet vascular stenosis in most patients with stent thrombosis (88.9%). Conclusions Stent thrombosis after TIPS is common. Dual source computed tomography angiography could evaluate the thrombotic features. Stent outlet vascular stenosis might be associated with thrombosis formation after TIPS.
