Color and power Doppler producing ovarian vascular mapping allows to realize a new functional approach of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHS); local vascular factors (ovarian angiogenesis, increase in cappillary permeability) released by hCG injection (LH effect) have in fact an important part in this syndrome. Vaginal Doppler sonography allows: -before induction, to predict potential risk of hyperstimulation: polycystic ovaries, spontaneous stromal hypervascularization; -in monitoring of ovulation stimulation, to reduce risk of multiple pregnancy and to detect early hyperstimulation, decision of hCG injection depends on number of follicles able to be fertilized (> 15 mm) and luteinized (> 10 mm); -to assess severity of OHS and search complications: ascites, hydrothorax, ovarian torsion and deep venous thrombosis. So OHS prevention imposes a monitoring by Doppler sonography and estradiol assay of all cycles induced by gonadotropins.

Transjugular intrahepatic shunts (TIPSs) are widely used in the management of portal hypertension complications including variceal bleeding, refractory ascites, and hepatic hydrothorax. Vena cava filters (VCFs) are an important therapeutic modality in the prevention of pulmonary emboli in patients suffering deep venous thrombosis and clinical contraindications for anticoagulation. Stent and filter misplacement or migration may occur, complicating liver transplantation (LT) surgery. We describe the intraoperative management of a patient with cirrhosis, who had a TIPS extending into the right atrium (RA) and a retrohepatic VCF. Stent and filter removals were deferred until the time of LT. Both procedures were performed successfully by complete cava and portal reconstruction. In conclusion, careful assessment and surgical management of patients with stent and filters permits successful LT.

Hepatic hydrothorax secondary to transdiaphragmatic spread of peritoneal fluid can cause respiratory discomfort to the patient. Draining of hydrothorax helps relieve these symptoms. Pleurovenous shunt (Denver shunt) is a relatively non-invasive method of shunting the pleural fluid to the central venous system. Reported complications of pleurovenous shunts are shunt failure, pulmonary edema, post shunt coagulopathy, deep vein thrombosis, and infection. We report a rare case of a leak at the venous end of the catheter that was placed within the right internal jugular vein, resulting in a large collection in the neck.
