abd vascular Flashcards
Portal vein
Low velocity continuous flow
hepatic blood flow
25% proper hepatic
75% pv
13mm diameter
hepatopetal
intrasegmental
hyperechoic walls
Hepatic vein
3(Right, middle and left) Blood flow towards the IVC phases above and below the baseline TRIPHASIC (rt artrial filling and relaxation) Intersegmental and interlobar Non echogenic walls
Created to lower portal pressure
placed between the RHV & RPV
demontrates hepatofugal flow
Transjugular Intrahepatic postosystemic shun (TIPS)
what does a TIPS velocity of
low velocity means lumen occlusion in the future
what does a TIPS velocity of >190cm/ sec mean
high velocity means there is a narrowing of the shunt
Hepatic artery
parallel to the MPV (anterior and left)
low resistance
Post op liver transplant what does a high resistance hepatic artery waveform suggest
venous congestion of the liver or possible organ rejection
a parvus tardus (hepatic/ renal ) waveform suggests
a proximal anastomosis stenosis
(>50%) “ small, low pulse”
name the renal vascular flow
main renal artery segmental interlobar arcuate interlobular
what does a high restistance renal artery waveform suggest?
Renal vein thrombosis acute tubular necrosis acute glomerulonephritis (GN) transplant rejection Hydronephrosis
A RI of ___ is suggestive of obstructive hydronephrosis
> 0.7
What is the normal RI
0.7
Renal artery demonstrates
continuous forward flow during diastole, typical of low resistance flow
what is the formula for RI
Peak systolic freq
what does a RI= 0.5 mean
diastole is 50% of systole
what does a RI= 0.7
diastole is 30% of systole
what does a RI =1.0
diastole is absent
what is the RI the is questionable for transplant dysfunction
0.7-0.8
what is the RI for transplant dysfunction
> 0.8
the testicular blood flow is supplied by the
deferential artery cremasteric (external spermatic) artery Testicular artery capsular centripetal( intratesticular)
how do you rule out complete torsion
by decreasing the PRF ( color scale) it will better optimize slow blood flow
Typically the arterial supply of the prostate with branches from the internal iliac arteries
Inferior vesical artery
