Doppler ultrasonography for gastroduodenal artery clamping test. The peak systolic and mean velocities of intrahepatic arterial flow decreased from 37.7 cm/second and 26.4 cm/second, respectively, before gastroduodenal artery clamping to 20.6 cm/second and 15.0 cm/second, respectively, after gastroduodenal artery clamping. Similarly, the resistive index decreased from 0.510 to 0.508, respectively (a, b). After the median arcuate ligament was released, the peak systolic and mean velocities of intrahepatic blood flow were restored to 34.4 cm/second and 23.8 cm/second, respectively, during gastroduodenal artery clamping. The resistive index also restored to 0.512 (c)
