Abstract:
Visualization and cardiac Doppler interrogation of the hepatic veins has become an important and integral part of the routine echocardiographic examination. The challenge lies in adequate visualization of the hepatic veins by use of the standard subcostal approach. This article proposes alternate approaches when the standard view yields unsatisfactory visual and cardiac Doppler information.
