AB KEY  CLINICAL  UPDATES  IN  NONCIRRHOTIC  PORTAL  HYPERTENSIONContrast-enhanced  CT  or  magnetic  resonance  angiography  of  the  portal  system  can  assess  extension  of  thrombus  into  the  mesenteric  veins  and  exclude  tumor  thrombus  in  patients  with  cirrhosis.The  decision  to  give  an  anticoagulant  to  a  patient  with  cirrhosis  and  portal  vein  thrombosis  depends  on  the  presence  of  ascites,  the  patient's  fall  risk,  and  the  patient's  candidacy  for  liver  transplantation.Moreover,  partial  portal  vein  thrombosis  may  resolve  in  30–50%  of  cases.Data  on  the  use  of  direct-acting  oral  anticoagulants  in  patients  with  cirrhosis  and  portal  vein  thrombosis  are  lacking.
