Venous thrombosis of pancreatic transplants: diagnosis by duplex sonography.

Abstract

Reversal of diastolic flow in pancreatic transplant arteries is highly specific for detection of graft venous thrombosis during the first 12 days after transplantation. Our findings suggest that an RI greater than or equal to 1.00 and absence of venous flow, in combination, are highly sensitive and specific for the diagnosis of pancreatic graft venous thrombosis.
