Abstract

Although increased intracranial pressure is classically associated with acute liver failure, some patients with cirrhosis, who undergo insertion of a transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic stent (TIPSS), develop this complication. The aims of this study were to investigate whether TIPSS insertion results in an increase in cerebral blood flow (CBF) and to study nitric oxide (NO) metabolism, prior to and following insertion of TIPSS.
