Abstract
Portal Hypertension can be successfully managed using a variety of interventional radiology techniques. The presinusoidal, sinusdoidal and post sinusoidal categories have different options available, as does segmental portal hypertension. The major role of TIPS has been tempered by early occlusions and high rates of hepatic encephalopathy .
