Abstract

BACKGROUND: While the CT-based method of detecting clinically significant portal hypertension (CSPH) emerged as a noninvasive alternative for evaluating CSPH, its predictive ability for post-hepatectomy outcomes is unknown. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the impact of CT-based CSPH on outcomes following hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
