Introduction: Selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT) is increasingly used in different scenarios. Although portal hypertension (PHT) has been described as a nonclinically relevant finding after SIRT, its real incidence could have been neglected due to the nature of the diseases for which SIRT is indicated.
