Ultrasonography was used to explore surgical porto-caval shunt in 10 patients. In 9 of these, the patency demonstrated by angiography was confirmed, the communication between the two veins being clearly visible on 9 transverse sections, 6 sagittal sections and 2 right frontal sections. In addition, the echograms supplied information on the size of the opening, the calibre of the inferior vena cava (which was usually dilated below the anastomosis) and, in some cases, the presence of thrombosis. Harmless and readily accepted by the patients, ultrasonography is likely to become one of the preferred methods for post-operative control of porto-caval shunts.
对10例患者采用超声检查来探测手术门腔分流情况。其中9例，血管造影显示的通畅情况得到证实，在9个横切面、6个矢状切面和2个右额状切面上，两条静脉之间的交通清晰可见。此外，超声心动图还提供了开口大小、下腔静脉管径（通常在吻合口下方扩张）的信息，在某些情况下，还能提供血栓存在的信息。超声检查无害且易于被患者接受，很可能成为门腔分流术后控制的首选方法之一。
