Abstract

Abstract

Liver cirrhosis is the end stage of various chronic liver diseases, and portal hypertension is a main complication of liver cirrhosis. In this pathological state, spontaneous portosystemic shunt (SPSS), as the collateral circulation of the portal venous system, has not attracted enough attention in terms of occurrence mechanism and clinical value. The analysis shows that although SPSS is a natural shunt channel, further studies are still needed to clarify whether it can be used as a decompression method for portal hypertension, and a deeper understanding of SPSS will provide important guiding significance for the diagnosis and treatment of portal hypertension.
