[Comparison of high-resolution arterial echography and angiography in the diagnosis of atheromatous lesions of the external carotid].
Personal experience about a correlative study on ultrasonographic and angiographic methods executed on carotid artery is reported. Usual techniques are described and result discordances are considered. Stenosis level is subdivided in four different types: normal, less than 45, 45-75%, greater than 75%. Authors examine in which stenosis range one technique can be superimposed on the other one and show limits and possibilities. Moreover complementary and interdependence position of these two techniques are stressed with respect to atherosclerotic disease study.
