Notwithstanding the commonality of the problem, the pathophysiology and risk factors for PVT in cirrhosis are largely unknown. The clinical impact of PVT in the natural history of cirrhosis is unclear, indications for PVT treatment are not well defined, and treatment recommendations are based on experts' opinion and consensus only. Therefore, this review aims to summarize current knowledge of mechanisms and risk factors for PVT development and assess the current evidence of PVT management, with a special focus on strategies of anticoagulation and transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt placement.Epidemiological and laboratory studies performed in the last decades have changed our understanding of coagulopathy in cirrhosis, from a condition at increased risk of hemorrhagic events to one at higher thrombotic risk. However, it is not clear whether the decrease in factors that promote (except factor [F] VIII) versus inhibit coagulation in patients with cirrhosis results in a rebalanced state or in a hypercoagulable phenotype. This issue can be partially addressed using thrombin generation assays (TGA), which unlike routine clotting tests (prothrombin time or activated partial thromboplastin time) are sensitive to both procoagulant factors and coagulation inhibitors. However, many preanalytical issues and variable analytical methodologies used in TGAs complicate data analysis and interlaboratory comparisons. The introduction of TGAs in which activators of the protein C pathway (particularly soluble forms of thrombomodulin [TM]) are added has allowed detection of a reduced anticoagulant effect of TM or even a hypercoagulable phenotype as judged by endogenous thromb
