ROSALES FARGIE, Yamilé; SIMON PEREZ, Liliam e NIEVES MORA, Juan Daniel. Vascular ultrasonography in patients with chronic hepatopathies of unknown etiology. MEDISAN [online]. 2015, vol.19, n.6, pp. 708-714. ISSN 1029-3019.
A prospective and cross-sectional study of 69 patients with chronic hepatopathies of unknown etiology, assisted in the Imagenology Department of "Saturnino Lora Torres" Teaching Provincial Clinical Surgical Hospital in Santiago de Cuba was carried out from January, 2009 to August, 2010, in order to determine the ultrasonographic vascular changes in the affected patients. The age group 52-59 (39.1%), the male sex (69.6%), the localization (44.9%), the thromboses of the portal vein (47%), the dilation of suprahepatic veins (89.7%) and the prehepatic etiologies (44.9%) prevailed. The Doppler duplex and Doppler colour echographies allowed to establish diagnostic criteria in these patients, without affecting their evaluation with other hemodynamic studies
