  • Title: Budd-Chiari syndrome: diagnosis with duplex sonography.
    Author: Ohnishi K, Terabayashi H, Tsunoda T, Nomura F.
    Journal: Am J Gastroenterol; 1990 Feb; 85(2):165-9. PubMed ID: 2405643.
    Abstract:
    Three patients with proven Budd-Chiari syndrome were examined with a duplex sonograph consisting of a real-time ultrasonograph and a pulsed Doppler flowmeter. In these cases, the pulsed Doppler analysis associated with the real-time imaging showed abnormalities in the direction of flow in the hepatic vein, communicating vessel between hepatic veins, and/or retrohepatic inferior vena cava, which were consistent with obstruction of hepatic venous outflow. With these findings, duplex sonography can be used to diagnose Budd-Chiari syndrome.
