Liver TIPS Evaluation Ultrasound
Name:
Exam date:
Comparison:
Indication:
Technique:
Multiple sonographic images of the transplanted liver were assessed for gray scale appearance and color doppler flow.
Findings:
The liver is normal in size and echogenicity.
No ascites is present.
Mid TIPS stent velocity is ____ cm/sec.
Distal TIPS stent near its anastomosis with the IVC is ____ cm/sec.
(Normal velocities are between 90- 200 cm/sec)
(Less than 90 cm/sec indicates thrombosis)
(Greater than 200 cm/sec indicates stenosis)
The stent has normal slight protrusion into the IVC.
Impression:
1. Patent TIPS stent with normal velocities.
