Symptomatic hepatic hydrothorax successfully treated with transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS)–role of titration of portosystemic gradient reduction to avoid post-TIPS encephalopathy

KEY CLINICAL MESSAGE: We describe a challenging case of hepatic hydrothorax secondary to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis cirrhosis. Our management involved successfully treating the hydrothorax with a transjugular intrahepatic porto-systemic shunt but having to manage the subsequent complication of hep...

description KEY CLINICAL MESSAGE: We describe a challenging case of hepatic hydrothorax secondary to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis cirrhosis. Our management involved successfully treating the hydrothorax with a transjugular intrahepatic porto-systemic shunt but having to manage the subsequent complication of hepatic encephalopathy. We conclude with a review of the available literature.
