Objective To summarize the pathogenesis, epidemiology, and risk factors of portal vein thrombosis after splenectomy, and combined with the latest advances in clinical prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of portal vein thrombosis after splenectomy, so as to provide some references for clinical prevention and treatment in the future.Method Literatures on portal vein thrombosis after splenectomy were collected and reviewed.Results The incidence of portal vein thrombosis after splenectomy was high and its occurrence was the result of multiple factors. It was mainly related to the change of splenic venous blood flow mechanics after splenectomy. In terms of diagnosis, enhanced CT scan was the first choice. Currently, there was no consensus on treatment options, which mainly focused on individualized treatment and emphasized that preventive anticoagulant use of low-molecular-weight heparin may reduce the risk of portal vein thrombosis.Conclusion The concept of tertiary prevention of portal vein thrombosis after splenectomy should be established, and individualized treatment should be adopted in combination with the patient’s condition.
