Ultrasonic evaluation of portacaval shunts
Journal of Clinical Ultrasound, 1977AbstractPatients who had portacaval shunts were examined both before and after surgery. In the majority of cases, it was possible to detect the portcaval shunt by actually demonstrating the site of anastomosis. There was dilatation of the vena cava just cephalad to the site of the anastomosis due to the increased volume of blood entering the vena cava ...
