Abstract No. 647 Outcomes of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt creation in patients with elevated intraprocedural right heart pressures

Right heart failure with elevated central venous pressure is a relative contraindication for TIPS procedure. Increased right atrial pressure has been described as a significant prognostic factor for poor outcomes and early mortality following TIPS creation. However, literature on outcomes in patients who undergo TIPS creation with elevated intraprocedural right heart pressures is limited.
