[Diagnosis of atherosclerotic lesions of the extracranial carotid artery using duplex sonography and IA-DSA. A prospective pathologically and anatomically controlled study].
Fifty patients were studied prospectively. The extracranial portions of the carotid arteries were examined by duplex sonography and IA-DSA in order to demonstrate haemodynamically significant stenoses or plaques which might give rise to emboli and the findings compared with the pathologic specimens. The results indicate high sensitivity (up to 90%) for more than 75% detection of stenoses. On the other hand ulceration was diagnosed sonographically with an accuracy of 66% and plaque hemorrhage with an accuracy of 56%.
