Evaluation of LeVeen-shunt patency using Tc-99m labelled macroaggregated albumin.

Allah Rakha Adil1, Amin Waqar.   

Abstract

A LeVeen peritoneo-venous shunt is placed for intractable ascites. Determination of obstruction site in the shunt tube is a difficult problem. We describe a simple nuclear medicine method using 111MBq (3mCi) of Technetium-99m labeled macro-aggregated albumin injected intraperitoneally.
