Abstract: Limited data suggest Liver Transplantation (LT) is considered high risk when moderate to severe Porto-Pulmonary Hypertension (POPH) (MPAP>35mm Hg) via right heart catheterization is documented. A literature review and multicenter data collection have documented up to 36% post-transplant in-hospital mortality in untreated patients when pre-LT MPAP exceeds moderate levels (>35mm Hg) [1].
