cirrhotic patients do have a prothrombotoc state, meaning they have a tendency to develop blood clots. But the clot in his leg can NOT explode!
What happens is, as the liver shrinks, the flow of blood from veins from the stomach slows down, causing them to swell up. This is the site of bleeding in such patients.
