Oculoplethysmography: an adjunct to arteriography in the diagnosis of extracranial carotid occlusive disease.
A four and a half year study documents that oculoplethysmography, in conjunction with carotid phonoangiography, fulfills the criteria of an effective noninvasive adjunct to arteriography in the diagnosis of extracranial carotid occlusive disease. The risk and expense of unnecessary arteriographic studies can be reduced and accuracy of arteriographic technics and interpretations can be enhanced by routine application of oculoplethysmography.
