Overview

Surgery is the mainstay of treatment for hepatopulmonary syndrome. Orthotopic liver transplantation is the only available treatment for patients with hepatopulmonary syndrome.

Indications

  • There are a number of indications for liver transplantation in cirrhosis divided to relative and absolute indications.
  • Among them, severe cardiac and/or pulmonary diseases and severe pulmonary hypertension (mPAP >45 mm Hg) is an absolute indication
  • Plenty o patients who develope HPS are already candied for liver transplantation.

Complications

  • Severe post-transplant hypoxemia nad subsequent prolonged mechanical ventilation
  • Post-operative infections
  • Anastomotic bile duct leaks due to delayed wound healing because of hypoxemia
  • Post-operative portal vein and hepatic artery thrombosis due to polycythemia induced by chronic hypoxemia
  • post-transplant HPS recurrence because of graft dysfunction

Contraindications
