[Accuracy of echoflowscan evaluation of carotid artery in comparison to angiography (author's transl)].
The echoflowscan findings of 121 patients with acute cerebro-vascular diseases were compared with the angiographic features. The results of the degree of carotid stenosis correlated well in 86%. In 14% the ultrasonic findings were false. To be more effective in non-invasive carotid evaluation, a selected battery of tests is required.
