Techniques were adjusted to record simultaneously the waveform from neighboring sections of the veins, relate wave components to each other and determine degree of pulsatility. The corresponding vessel diameters were determined. ANOVA with t\u2010test or Wilcoxon signed rank test was used to compare paired measurements.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Pulsation in the left portal branch was noted in all fetuses. The pulsatility index was higher than in the umbilical vein (P = 0.005) and the diameter smaller (P = 0.001). In the left portal branch the atrial contraction wave appeared as a velocity peak while there was a nadir during ventricular systole. Simultaneous recordings showed that the waveform was reciprocal to that found in the ductus venosus and umbilical vein. In three cases an augmented pulsatility represented a pendulation of blood in the left portal branch with time\u2010averaged velocity near zero.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>The velocity waveform recorded in the left portal vein is an inverse image of that in the ductus venosus, proving that pulse wave and blood flow run in the same direction in the left portal vein. Low compliance (i.e. small diameter) is probably a main reason for the high incidence of pulsation in this vein. Time\u2010averaged velocity near zero recorded in three fetuses indicates that this area acts also as a watershed. Copyright \u00a9 2003 ISUOG.
