    Peritoneovenous shunts, like LeVeen or Denver systems, help manage therapy-resistant ascites. Radiologists use fluoroscopic angiography to assess shunt function and detect complications like thrombosis.

    Area of Science:

    • Interventional Radiology
    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Oncology

    Background:

    • Therapy-resistant ascites is a challenging clinical condition.
    • Peritoneovenous shunt systems (LeVeen, Denver) are increasingly used for ascites management.
    • Shunt malfunction necessitates diagnostic evaluation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the radiologic assessment of peritoneovenous shunt systems.
    • To highlight the role of fluoroscopic angiography in evaluating shunt function and complications.

    Main Methods:

    • Investigation performed under sterile conditions on a fluoroscope table.
    • Utilizes fluoroscopic guidance for assessment.
    • Includes angiographic evaluation for complications.

    Main Results:

    • Enables assessment of shunt valve and drainage tube position and function.
    • Allows for angiographic detection of thrombotic complications.
    • Confirms patency and efficacy of the peritoneovenous shunt system.

    Conclusions:

    • Fluoroscopic angiography is crucial for evaluating peritoneovenous shunt systems in ascites.
    • This method aids in diagnosing shunt insufficiency and thrombotic complications.
    • Ensures optimal management of therapy-resistant ascites.
