**
Patients with a cavernoma are a subgroup of patients with occlusive thrombosis;
*
n.d.: no sufficient data;
***
Only for patients with successful TIPS intervention;
§
randomized study, TIPS versus medical treatment (banding ligation and propranolol). All patients received Vit K antagonists. TIPS: transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt; PVT: portal vein thrombosis.
