Summary

Reaccumulation of ascitic fluid after peritoneovenous shunt implantation demands accurate diagnostic procedure. Between 1973 and 1985 81 peritoneovenous shunts have been implanted at the IInd Surgical Department of the University of Vienna. In the same time 34 reoperations in 17 patients have been performed for reasons of shunt-dysfunction. Besides thorax x-ray, diagnosis was established in 11 cases by means of Doppler ultrasound investigation, in 26 cases by technetium scan and in 15 cases by shunt angiography. Shuntography proved to be the method of choice, with no false results. Doppler ultrasound results were unclear in a high percentage, thus this method is not used any more.

Zusammenfassung

Das Wiederauftreten von Ascites nach peritoneovenöser Shuntimplantation erfordert eine genaue diagnostische Abklärung. 81 Shunts wurden von 1973 bis 1985 an der II. Chirurgischen Universitätsklinik in Wien implantiert. Im selben Zeitraum mußten bei 17 Patienten insgesamt 34 Revisionen wegen Shuntdysfunktion durchgeführt werden. Als diagnostische Methode zur Prüfung der Funktion und Lokalisation der Verschlußursache wurde neben Thoraxröntgen eine Doppler-Ultraschalluntersuchung in 11 Fällen, ein Technetium-Scan in 26 Fällen sowie eine angiographische Shuntdarstellung in Verbindung mit einer Messung des zentralvenösen Drucks in 15 Fällen angewandt. Als aussagekräftigste Methode erwies sich die Shuntographie. Die Doppler-Ultraschalluntersuchung haben wir wegen ihrer häufig unklaren Ergebnisse ganz verlassen.
