Management of acute subdural hematoma in a patient with portopulmonary hypertension on prostanoid therapy.

CONCLUSION: While concerns related to the risk of bleeding in surgery are valid, intraoperative hemostasis does not appear to be profoundly affected. Surgical intervention should not be delayed and prostanoid therapy discontinued, if possible, postoperatively. Patients should be placed in an intensive care setting with assistance from pulmonary specialists and close monitoring of neurological status and blood pressure. PMID: 28840065 [PubMed]
