Implication

Observational analysis demonstrates outcomes of liver transplantation with mesocaval shunt in adults, highlighting complications like hyperammonemic encephalopathy.

Key Points

The mean portal vein pressure decreased to 14.2 mm Hg in recipients after undergoing mesocaval shunt.
Among 10 cases of mesocaval shunt, four patients developed hyperammonemic encephalopathy during follow-up.
This analysis followed 33 patients who underwent liver transplantation with various techniques from 1996 to 2010.
The outcomes indicate that portal vein inflow modulation can lead to late complications, necessitating careful monitoring.
