Overview
Surgery
Percutaneous Interventions
Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunting is the creation of a connection between the portal and the venous system. As the pressure over the venous system is lower than over a hypertensive portal system, this would decrease the pressure over the portal system and a decreased risk of complications.
Surgical Interventions
- Distal splenorenal shunt
- Liver transplantation - The most definitive treatment of portal hypertension is a liver transplant.
