PORTAL HYPERTENSION-Assessment of surgical risks

PORTAL HYPERTENSION-Assessment of surgical risks:

The presence of clinically significant portal hypertension (CSPH), determined either by HVPG ≥10 mmHg or by clinical manifestations of portal hypertension, is associated with a higher risk of decompensation and mortality in patients with cirrhosis undergoing liver resection for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

In candidates for non-hepatic abdominal surgery, a HVPG ≥16 mmHg is associated with an increased risk of short-term mortality after surgery.
