| Core Tip |
Venous excess ultrasound has advanced bedside assessment of systemic venous congestion, but its standard components are not always accessible or reliable. The concept of extended venous excess ultrasound introduces alternative veins, including the internal jugular, femoral, splenic, and superior vena cava, to overcome these limitations and improve flexibility in real-world settings. Understanding these complementary windows is essential, especially in patients with altered anatomy or comorbidities like cirrhosis. While correlating Doppler findings with right atrial pressure is important, future studies must also link them to clinical outcomes and develop context-specific protocols for broader, safer clinical adoption. |
