Imaging-guided interventions modulating portal venous flow: Evidence and controversiesKey points
Summary: Portal hypertension is defined by an increase in the portosystemic venous gradient. In most cases, increased resistance to portal blood flow is the initial cause of elevated portal pressure.

Portal hypertension in cirrhosis: Pathophysiological mechanisms and therapyKey points
Summary: Portal hypertension, defined as increased pressure in the portal vein, develops as a consequence of increased intrahepatic vascular resistance due to the dysregulation of liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs) and hepatic stellate cells ...

Etiology and Clinical Outcome of Budd-Chiari Syndrome and Portal Vein Thrombosis [PDF]
The liver receives approximately one-third of the resting cardiac output. Blood flow to the liver is supplied by both an arterial (hepatic artery) and a venous (portal vein) system and three hepatic veins provide drainage of blood from the liver to the ...
