[Noninvasive diagnosis of occlusive processes of the brachiocephalic arteries: Doppler sonography compared to ophthalmodynamometry and ophthalmodynamography].
97 patients with suspected cerebrovascular disease were examined using ophthalmodynamometry/ophthalmodynamography and dopplersonography. In 49 of the patients we found haemodynamic changes typical of brachio-cephalic artery occlusion processes. In 36 patients angiography was performed either as a preparation for vascular surgery or for further clarification. Ophthalmodynamometry/ophthalmodynamography examination yielded diagnosis in 87%, dopplersonography and combined use of ophthalmodynamometry/ophthalmodynamography and dopplersonography in 94% of the brachio-cephalic artery occlusion processes.
