Friend or Foe? Spontaneous Portosystemic Shunts in Cirrhosis—Current Understanding and Future Prospects
Abstract
Portal hypertension (PHT) in cirrhosis results from increased resistance to splanchnic blood flow secondary to parenchymal and vascular changes within the liver. In an attempt to counteract the increased portal pressure, two mechanisms simultaneously occur: splanchnic vasodilatation and formation of spontaneous portosystemic shunts (SPSS).
