| Core Tip |
The pathogenesis of hepatic encephalopathy (HE) following transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunting (TIPS) remains incompletely understood. While hyperammonemia is classically implicated as the driver of HE development, Zhuang et al also suggest that postoperative hemodynamic changes play a key role. Using three-dimensional arterial spin labeling and resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging, the authors demonstrate brain-region-specific alterations in cerebral blood flow and resting spontaneous brain activity, as measured by amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation, following TIPS placement. Their findings challenge the conventional understanding of post-TIPS placement HE and highlight the diagnostic potential of resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging for characterizing HE during the early postoperative period. |
