Scintigraphic procedures for the proof of peritoneo-venous shunt patency. 16
Description
Peritoneous shunt patency can be evaluated scintigraphically after intraperitoneal injection of 99mTc-labelled macro-aggregated albumin. Rapid accumulation of the particles in the lungs is an indicator of patency. If no radioactivity occurs in the lungs, the system is obstructed. After a second injection into the valve body the scintigraphic localization of the obstruction is possible. (author). 10 refs.; 5 figs
