ABSTRACT Background & Aims Portal hypertension is a major challenge in patients with cirrhosis requiring surgery. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of under‐dilated neoadjuvant transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (U.N‐TIPS) in enabling elective extrahepatic oncologic surgery in patients with cirrhosis and clinically significant portal

Background Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is an effective option for myocardial revascularization, even for high‐risk patients. As a result, more patients who undergo coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) have previously had PCI. This study aims to assess the impact of prior PCI on the occurrence of major adverse cardiac events (MACEs ...
