TIPS Stent US Doppler Evaluation
Audience: Radiology Attendings and Fellows, Ultrasonographers
Learning Objectives:
Describe the effect of angle correction on measured velocities with Doppler US
List and obtain the key measurements for detection of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) stents
Assess every angle corrected velocity measurements for accuracy
Summary:
Improper angle correction is…Misleading at best...Results in patient harm at worst
Properly corrected angle less than 30 or greater than 60 is better that any improperly corrected angle
Accurately angle correct no matter the angle
Thoroughly evaluate the distal TIPS
Increase you color scale to detect true aliasing

Hands down the BEST explanation regarding angle insonation vs angle correction. It is pounded in so many techs to never stray from 40-60 degrees. This is extremely helpful for new ultrasound techs as well as a good reminder for older techs. This will be a mandated video watch for my staff! Thank you!
