Fig. 6B 59-year-old woman with orthotopic liver transplantation for
chronic hepatitis C virus. Color Doppler sonogram slightly tilted relative to
previous image shows right hepatic vein (out of plane) draining through
collateral vessel (arrowhead) to middle hepatic vein (mhv), resulting
in presence of "bicolored" hepatic vein. Collateral vessel
connecting occluded (or stenotic) hepatic vein to neighboring patent hepatic
vein (blue) results in presence of "bicolored" hepatic
veins. Thus, "bicolored" phenomenon consists of flow, which turns
away and toward transducer in same vessel. In this case, it was incidental
finding that was thought to be related to stenosis of hepatic vein because
junction with vena cava was not clearly depicted.
