OR
There are no echocardiography/ultrasound findings associated with [disease name]. However, an echocardiography/ultrasound may be helpful in the diagnosis of complications of [disease name], which include [complication 1], [complication 2], and [complication 3].
Echocardiography/Ultrasound
- Ultrasound may be helpful in the diagnosis of portal vein thrombosis. Findings on an ultrasound diagnostic of portal vein thrombosis include:
- Demonstration of echogenic material that obstructs the lumen of the vessel and the complete or partial absence of flow in the portal vein or on the presence of collateral circuits that by-pass the obstructed vessel, the most typical form being the cavernoma, a tangle of tortuous vessels, irregular in caliber, that includes the vasa vasorum of the portal vein and the pericholecystic vessels
- Hyperechoic material within the portal vein, with distension of the portal vein and its tributaries
