Scintiphotographic evaluation of LeVeen peritoneo-venous shunt patency using intraperitoneal Tc-99m-MAA
Clin Nucl Med.
1979 Nov.
Abstract
A simple method is described for assessing the patency of LeVeen peritoneo-venous shunts. Following the intraperitoneal injection of 5 mCi of Tc-99m-MAA pulmonary radioactivity is monitored using a gamma scintillation camera. Lung visualization indicates shunt patency, while lack of lung uptake implies shunt obstruction.
