| Core Tip |
Extrahepatic portosystemic shunt (EHPSS) is an underrecognized contributor to hepatic encephalopathy (HE) recurrence and mortality in patients with cirrhosis. In this study, EHPSS embolization significantly improved 1-year survival (50% vs 33%) and prevented HE recurrence (100% vs 17%) compared with no intervention. Embolization also extended both survival and recurrence-free duration. These findings highlight the importance of routine abdominal computed tomography for early EHPSS detection and timely embolization to improve outcomes in cirrhotic patients with recurrent HE. |
