[Diagnostic significance of intravenous digital subtraction angiography of the supra-aortic extracranial vascular system. Comparative study of i.v. DSA and plain film angiography].
Digital intravenous subtraction angiography (DSA) and conventional film angiography were used to evaluate the diagnostic reliability of DSA-examinations. In 90% of 650 DSA-angiogramms the image quality was diagnostic. For 124 carotid angiographies a comparison of both methods was possible and gave a sensitivity of 87%, a specificity of 96% and an accuracy of 90% for the DSA examinations. The authors believe that digital subtraction angiography is suitable as a screening method for supraaortal vascular occlusive diseases.
