Abstract: Hepatopulmonary syndrome and portopulmonary hypertension are the most common pulmonary vascular complications in patients with cirrhosis. Usually but not universally mutually exclusive, they each may present prior to liver transplantation and, if severe enough, may be a contraindication to transplant. However, there have been a number of case reports describing patients developing pulmonary hypertension de novo after liver transplantation. This report describes one such patient from our institution and reviews the medical literature describing this unusual clinical entity.
