About this trial

This study aims to explore the safety and efficacy of oral administration of a novel anticoagulant (rivaroxaban) in patients with cirrhosis accompanied by high-risk esophagogastric variceal bleeding and portal vein thrombosis, through a prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled clinical trial, starting 48 hours after endoscopic treatment to prevent rebleeding.
