Abdominal Venogram is a specialized diagnostic imaging technique designed to evaluate the venous system within the abdominal region using contrast media and advanced radiographic imaging technologies. This invasive procedure involves the precise injection of iodine-based contrast agent directly into the venous structures to provide detailed visualization of blood flow, vascular anatomy, and potential pathological conditions affecting abdominal veins. Typically performed in a dedicated interventional radiology suite, the examination requires skilled catheterization, where a thin, flexible catheter is carefully inserted, usually through a peripheral vein, and navigated to target abdominal venous systems. Radiologists employ fluoroscopic guidance to track the contrast agent’s movement, enabling comprehensive assessment of venous structures including the portal vein, renal veins, hepatic veins, and inferior vena cava. The technique is crucial for diagnosing various conditions such as venous thrombosis, congenital vascular malformations, venous obstruction, tumoral invasion, and evaluating potential complications of liver disease or portal hypertension. Advanced imaging technologies like digital subtraction angiography enhance visualization by eliminating background tissue interference, providing exceptionally clear images of the venous network. Beyond diagnostic evaluation, abdominal venogram can facilitate interventional procedures like venous sampling, stent placement, or targeted therapeutic interventions. The procedure demands meticulous patient preparation, including comprehensive medical history review, assessment of coagulation parameters, and screening for potential contrast allergies, with patients requiring careful post-procedural monitoring and management.
