Abstract: INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES Spontaneous portosystemic shunts (SPSS) are a common cause of recurrent hepatic encephalopathy (HE). Shunt occlusion is an effective and safe procedure when performed in patients with cirrhosis and preserved liver function. We… read more here.

Abstract: BACKGROUND Spontaneous portosystemic shunts (SPSS) frequently develop in liver cirrhosis. Recent data suggested that presence of a single large SPSS is associated with complications, especially overt hepatic encephalopathy (oHE). However, presence of >1 SPSS is… read more here.

DOI: 10.12659/aot.936371
Abstract: Background We have ligated spontaneous portosystemic shunts (SPSS) in living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) when a postoperative interventional radiology (IVR) approach was impossible or the intraoperative hepatopetal flow was insufficient. This retrospective study from a… read more here.

Abstract: Background Sarcopenia and spontaneous portosystemic shunts (SPSSs) are common complications of liver cirrhosis, and both are associated with higher rates of hepatic encephalopathy (HE) development in these patients. This study aimed to evaluate the simultaneous… read more here.
