Sarah Raevens, Isabelle Colle, Koen Reyntjens, Anja Geerts, Frederik Berrevoet, Xavier Rogiers, Roberto I. Troisi, Hans Vlierberghe, Michel Pauw – 13 April 2013 – Portopulmonary hypertension (POPH), a complication of chronic liver disease, may be a contraindication to liver transplantation (LT) because of the elevated risk of peritransplant and posttransplant morbidity and mortality. Because POPH is frequently asymptomatic, screening with echocardiography is recommended. The only reliable technique, however, for diagnosing POPH is right heart catheterization (RHC).

All 374 patients who underwent OLT at Frankfurt University Hospital were screened for the occurrence of ABSs.
