Core Tip	Portopulmonary hypertension (PoPHT) is one of the most common findings on preoperative assessment of cirrhotic patients prior to liver transplant surgery. Since it has prognostic significance, diagnosis of PoPHT by Doppler echocardiography and further characterization by right heart catheterization is critical in classifying these patients. Therapy with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH)-specific agents should be started when PoPHT is moderate to severe. Patients with a positive response should be encouraged to undergo liver transplant surgery. Bridging therapy with these agents should be considered until the time of transplant surgery and continued during the peri and postoperative periods as needed.
