Doppler ultrasonography in living donor liver transplantation recipients: Intra- and post-operative vascular complications

Figure 6 Intra-operative ultrasound evaluation of portal vein anastomosis. A: B-mode ultrasound image showing the extrahepatic portal vein and intrahepatic bifurcation. The suture line appears as echogenic shadows at the site of anastomosis (arrows); B: Color image showing homogeneous color saturation in the PV with mild aliasing at site of anastomosis and at the PV bifurcation; C: Color Doppler image showing antegrade normal pulsatile flow in the PV. PV: Portal vein; HA: Hepatic artery.
