    5. Study Description

    Brief Summary
    The PROGRESS is an investigator-initiated, multicentre, randomized, trial comparing anticoagulation, which is the currently most frequently used treatment, alone, versus transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) combined with anticoagulation, in patients presenting with recent obstructive portal vein thrombosis (ROPVT). The rationale of this study is to significantly increase the proportion of patients that achieve a complete or partial recanalization of the portal vein. The intervention of this study consists in TIPS deployment and catheter based clot removal in addition to anticoagulation. The investigators retain that this intervention will increase the proportion of patients with an open portal vein from 38% with anticoagulation alone to 83% with anticoagulation and TIPS after 6 months. Both anticoagulant therapy and clot removal/TIPS are treatments that are currently available and accepted indications for the treatment of ROPVT. Anticoagulation will be performed with unfractioned heparin or low molecular weight heparin initially and with vitamin K antagonists in the long term. The investigators plan to collect blood for biobanking at the time of inclusion and after 6 months. Blood samples for a biobank will be collected.
