Renal artery stenosis: evaluation with colour duplex ultrasonography.
BACKGROUND Detection of renal artery stenoses (RAS) by means of duplex Doppler ultrasound with direct scanning of the main renal arteries is subject to numerous limitations. Using semiquantitative analysis of the Doppler curve, which can be recorded from intrarenal arteries, it is possible to detect RAS unaffected by the problems of direct Doppler scanning of the renal arteries. METHODS Both ...
متن کاملDuplex ultrasonography for the detection of vertebral artery stenosis
OBJECTIVES Vertebrobasilar stenosis is frequent in patients with posterior circulation stroke and it increases risk of recurrence. We investigated feasibility of duplex ultrasonography (DUS) for screening for extracranial vertebral artery stenosis and compared it with CT angiography (CTA). MATERIALS AND METHODS We gathered data on 337 consecutive patients who had DUS because of posterior circ...
متن کاملMITRAL STENOSIS COMPLICATED BY RENAL ARTERY EMBOLISM
Six patients with mitral stenosis complicated by renal artery embolism studied prospectively are presented. In five patients there was unilateral and in one patient bilateral renal artery involvement. The diagnosis was confirmed by intravenous pyelography, retrograde pyelography, renal angiography, renal scan or a combination of these. All had atrial fibrillation, proteinuria and elevated ...
متن کاملCombined use of color duplex ultrasonography and B-flow imaging for evaluation of patients with carotid artery stenosis.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Color duplex ultrasonography (CDU) is a standard method of noninvasive evaluation of internal carotid artery stenosis (ICAS). B-flow imaging (BFI), on the other hand, is a newer method. We investigated the accuracy of the two noninvasive tests--CDU and BFI--each separately and as a combination of the two tests by comparing with digital subtraction angiography as a referen...
متن کاملUltrasound Evaluation of Renal Artery Stenosis
Introduction Hypertension affects up to 65 million adults in the United States. A small subset of these patients have renovascular hypertension due to obstruction of the renal arteries. Fortunately, this type of hypertension can be corrected with treatment of the offending renal artery stenosis. Many hypertensive patients are referred for duplex ultrasound to screen for the presence of renal ar...
