Ultrasonic demonstration of porto-caval anastomosis in portal hypertension in children. 1985

D Boucher, and F Brunelle, and O Bernard, and F Forel, and D Autrel, and P Hadchouel, and P Chaumont

Seventy-one children with portal hypertension and a portocaval anastomosis were studied by ultrasound. The patency of the shunt may be inferred when it directly visualised. There are four indirect signs of patency: (1) decrease of the thickness of the lesser omentum; (2) decrease of the gastro-oesophageal collaterals; (3) decrease of the portal vein size; and (4) increase of the diameter of the inferior vena cava, as compared to pre-operative ultrasound.
