Sonographic Detection and Evaluation of Thrombosis in a Patient With Recent Pancreas Transplant

Simultaneous pancreas and kidney transplants are most commonly evaluated with sonography. Thorough understanding of the variety of surgical techniques, postoperative anatomy, and potential complications is necessary for proper diagnosis. A common complication following pancreas transplant surgery is venous thrombosis. In the presented case, sonography was able to demonstrate portosplenic thrombosis, and computed tomography angiography was used as a secondary means of imaging. Following treatment, sonography was used to follow the resolution of the thrombus, which facilitated survival of the pancreas graft
