Superior Mesenteric Artery (SMA) Doppler Ultrasound Normal Vs Abnormal Images | Vascular USG Cases

Superior Mesenteric Artery (SMA) Doppler Ultrasound Normal Vs Abnormal Images | Vascular USG Cases
Normal SMA (Fasting):
Sharp systolic Peak
High resistance flow
Variable flow during diastole (slow forward flow/flow reversal)
PSV: 110 to 180 cm/s approx.
EDV: Less than 55 cm/s approx. (variable)
RI: 0.5 to 0.7
Normal SMA (Post-Prandial)
Increased PSV and EDV
Flow reversal absent
Low resistance flow
≥70% SMA Stenosis:
Narrowing of SMA lumen
PSV ≥ 275cm/s
Causes mesenteric ischaemia
SMA Dissection:
Intimal Flap: An intimal flap is a membrane-like structure that oscillates with the heartbeat within the vessel lumen, dividing it into true and false lumens. This is a direct sign of dissection.
Presence of a False Lumen: The hallmark of artery dissection is the presence of a false lumen created by the intimal tear. This may appear as an additional, parallel channel within the SMA on ultrasound.

Thankyou, excelent video. Amasing changes on vassels, if we don't see it, it's hard to understand it
