Portal vein measurements by real-time sonography

Correlation Between Sonographic Portal Vein Diameter and Flow Velocity With the Clinical Scoring Systems MELD and CTP in Cirrhotic Patients: Is There a Relationship?

“…This measurement is different from previous studies (< 10 mm) performed to define normal ranges of ultrasound PVD from 6.3 -9.7 mm [18][19][20][21]. Moreover, the mean PVD exhibits a significant relationship with different variables, e.g.…”

Paraumbilical collateral veins on MRI as possible protection against portal venous thrombosis in candidates for liver transplantation

“…The PV diameter, averaging 1 cm in healthy adults [19], increases during the initial stages of portal hypertension [12,20], with a PV larger than 13 mm reported as characteristic of portal hypertension in the appropriate clinical setting [21].…”

Coronary vein diameter and flow direction in patients with portal hypertension: evaluation with duplex sonography and correlation with variceal bleeding.

“…Dilatation of one on more branches of the portal venous system has been used as a diagnostic sign of portal hypertension [1][2][3][4]. Although most attention has focused on measurement of the portal, superior mesentenic, and spienic veins [1][2][3][4] …”
