hepatofugal flow in portal vein
absence of doppler signal or color flow in TIPS
hepatofugal flow
away from the liver
abnormal in portal vein, normal in hepatic veins
how do you calculate resistive index in the kidney
(PSV - EDV)/PSV
what is a normal resistive index in the kidney
<0.6
what is an abnormal resistive index in the kidney
> 0.7
What is the definition of parenchymal diastolic / systolic ratio?
EDV/PSV
what is the abnormal parenchymal diastolic / systolic radio in kidney
<0.2
what is the definition of RAR for the kidney?
PSV renal artery / PSV aorta
what is the normal RAR for the kidney?
<3.5
normal renal artery PSV
<180-200cm/sec
what are the normal characteristics of renal artery duplex
short systolic upstroke
rapid deceleration
diastolic forward flow
early compliance peak

> 445cm/s
In stent celiar artery restenosis
> 289cm/s
Goldblatt experiment - unilateral disease
1 clip 2 kidneys
RENIN DRIVEN: continued renin release from bad kidney, but good kidney can excrete excess volume. Angiotensin II derives renovwwcular HTN
Initial decline in GFR with ACE-I but long term recovery
renal artery size
5mm
criteria for >60% renal artery stenosis?
PSV >180mm/s
renal artery/aortic PVS ratio>3.5
resistive index >0.8
renal stenting trials
STAR
ASTRAL
CORAL
What does STAR trial say
140 patients criteria: >=50% stenosis plus impaired renal function
only patients with medically controlled BP
no difference in primary endpoints of 20% or more decline in renal function
What does ASTRAL trial say
806 patients
stenting rendered small improvement of renal function but no change in BP
23 patients had serious complications after procedure
no protocolized medical therapy
mild CKD and HTN - 40% of patient’s without severe RAS
Patients who definitely needed a stent were excluded
What does CORAl trial say
prospective, 947 patients
Endpoints: major CV events and renal failure
RAS >80% or 60% with pressure gradient >20 and HTN on 2 or more meds
stenting showed no benefit
Technique of stenting renal artery
sized to normal artery segment
length: lesion +1-3mm on each side
if ostial: 2mm in the aorta
Use BES to provide radial force
what are the duplex changes in median arquate ligament
celiac artery velocities are ELEVATED with EXPIRATION (artery is compressed on Expiration)
what’s the other name of kidney resistive index?
Pourcelot’s index
criteria for <60% renal artery stenosis?
PSV>200 but RAR <3.5
duplex characteristics of hepatic vein flow
bidirectional
hepatofugal
pulsatile
similar to proximal IVC
what are the peaks and valleys of hepatic vein flow on duplex?
A peak - RA contractility
S valley - filling of RA during ventricular systole
V small peak- RA overfilling just before tricuspid valve opens
D valley - filling of RA during ventricular diastole
what is the characteristics of cirrhosis on duplex
loss of hepatic vein variability
