The purpose of this guideline is to provide a template to aid the vascular technologist/sonographer and other interested parties. Transabdominal pelvic venous duplex examinations are performed to assess abnormal blood flow in the abdominal and pelvic veins (excluding the portal venous system). The evaluation includes the assessment of abdominal and pelvic venous compressions, abdominal and pelvic venous insufficiency, and the presence or absence of pelvic varicosities %K pelvic veins %K abdominal veins %K venous insufficiency %K venous compression %K performance guideline %K duplex ultrasound %U https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/1544316718801497
