Key Points

To evaluate the efficacy of femoral vein Doppler interrogation in diagnosing right ventricular dysfunction.
Case report design conducted in a cardiac surgical ICU.
Used common femoral pulsed-wave and color Doppler with additional venous Doppler measurements.
Developed and tested an algorithm for hemodynamic instability cases.
Doppler findings confirmed diagnoses of right ventricular dysfunction with portal and renal congestion.
Technique proved fast, simple, and noninvasive, enhancing patient management.
Demonstrated utility in two additional unstable patients.
