Spontaneous portosystemic shunt (SPSS) development is a major risk factor for portopulmonary hypertension (PoPH) (1). Nonanatomical synthetic shunt creation by transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt increases cardiac output, leading to precipitated PoPH (2). Therefore, SPSS occlusion can theoretically improve disease pathogenesis through a mechanism distinct from pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) –specific drugs.
