Abstract
- Background: Portopulmonary hypertension (POPH) is defined as pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) in the context of portal hypertension. Severe POPH has been considered an absolute contraindication of orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT). Objective: Since there are no definitive guidelines for the immediate preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative evaluation and treatment of POPH patients, we have used published literature along with our experience to review current knowledge in this area.
