Abstract: The objective of this research was to verify if the study of portal hemodynamic parameters through duplex Doppler ultrasonography (DUS) is able to help to detect portosystemic shunt (PSS) and

“…Mean velocity (Vmean), average portal blood flow volume (PBFV) and congestion index (CI) are important indicators in hepatic evaluation, mainly to detect alterations such as chronic hepatic diseases that lead to portal hypertension [ 1 ]. Hemodynamic assessment of the portal vein with Doppler ultrasound is well described as a useful tool for portosystemic shunt diagnosis, and to detect the shunted vessel origin, as portal flow velocity is increased proximal to the origin of the shunt and decreased distally [ 2 ].…”

“…According to a study carried out in Brazil by Carvalho et al (2009), in which PSS was diagnosed in 20 dogs, 80% of these animals had portocaval shunt, while 10% had splenocaval or gastrocaval and only 5% of the animals presented with the portoazigos shunt.…”
