Objective  To explore the risk factors of postoperative portal vein system thrombus (PVST) after laparoscopic splenectomy in treatment of portal hypertension and hypersplenism. Methods  Clinical data of 76 patients with portal hypertension and hypersplenism who underwent laparoscopic splenectomy in the Sichuan Provincial People’s Hospital from January 2012 to January 2017 were analyzed. Results  There were 31 patients suffered from PVST (PVST group), and other 45 patients enrolled in non-PVST group.There were significant differences on age, diameter of splenic vein, diameter of portal vein, blood flow velocity of portal vein, level of D-dimer, and platelet count between the PVST group and the non-PVST group (P<0.05), but there were no significant difference on gender, Child-Pugh classification, etiology of cirrhosis, operation time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative complications, and prothrombin time between the two groups (P>0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that, patients with age >50 years (RR=1.31, P=0.02), splenic vein diameter >12 mm ( RR=1.29, P<0.01), portal vein diameter >13 mm (RR=1.55, P=0.01), blood flow velocity of portal vein <18 cm/s ( RR=1.47, P<0.01), increases level of D-dimer (RR=2.89, P=0.03), and elevated platelet count (RR=1.82 P=0.02) had higher risk of postoperative PVST than those patients with age ≤50 years, splenic vein diameter ≤12 mm, portal vein diameter ≤13 mm, blood flow velocity of portal vein ≥18 cm/s, normal level of D-dimer and platelet count. Conclusion  For patients with portal hypertension and hypersplenism who underwent laparoscopic splenectomy, we should pay more attention to the risk factor, such as D-dimer and so on, to avoid the occurrence of postoperative PVST.
