Embolization of portosystemic shunts for treatment of medically refractory hepatic encephalopathy [PDF]

Liver Transplantation, 2016
Treatment options for refractory hepatic encephalopathy (HE) are limited. Patients who fail medical management may harbor large portosystemic shunts (PSSs) which are possible therapeutic targets. This study aims to describe patient selection, effectiveness, and safety of percutaneous PSS embolization in those with medically refractory HE.
