  • Title: Recurrent portopulmonary hypertension after liver transplantation: management with epoprostenol and resolution after retransplantation.
    Author: Kett DH, Acosta RC, Campos MA, Rodriguez MJ, Quartin AA, Schein RM.
    Journal: Liver Transpl; 2001 Jul; 7(7):645-8. PubMed ID: 11460234.
    Abstract:
    We report a case of portopulmonary hypertension in which the pulmonary hypertension resolved after initial orthotopic liver transplantation. Portopulmonary hypertension recurred when the transplanted liver failed and again resolved after a second liver transplantation. Intravenous epoprostenol was administered perioperatively to control the pulmonary hypertension in both instances.
