was changed:
Portal venous flow is normally towards the liver (hepatopetal) and, with the normal main portal vein (MPV) peak peak systolic velocities usually as ranging between 20-40 cm/sec /s.
In pathological situations, the flow velocity may decrease or even invert resulting the hepatofugal flow.
The flow waveform is usually smooth but with pathological situations can turn to pulsatile portal venous flow.
