Correlation of continuous-wave Doppler spectral flow analysis with gross pathology in carotid stenosis.

چکیده
Preoperative continuous-wave Doppler spectral analysis was used to generate two parameters, peak frequency in the internal carotid artery (fmax) and the ratio of peak frequencies in the internal and common carotid arteries (carotid index). These were compared with direct measurement of residual lumen diameter in pathologic specimens obtained from carotid endarterectomy in 37 patients. Doppler shift frequency parameters were well correlated with residual lumen diameter when the latter was at least 1 mm. Residual lumens of less than or equal to 2 mm were found to have an fmax of greater than 7.5 kHz and a carotid index of greater than 3.8. If fmax was greater than 14 kHz or the carotid index was greater than 7, the residual lumen diameter was nearly always less than or equal to 1 mm. Thus, the severity of the stenosis correlated directly with Doppler shift frequencies. The length of stenoses did not affect the correlations.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The degree of internal carotid stenosis has emerged as the most important predictor of ischemic stroke in extracranial carotid artery disease. The purpose of this study was to assess the validity of the noninvasive techniques for quantifying internal carotid stenosis with respect to the accepted standard of intra-arterial angiography. METHODS We measured the maximum per...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE We hypothesized that direct cervical investigation with Power M-Mode Doppler (PMD) combined with single-gate Doppler spectral analysis (SGDSA) using a 2-MHz pulsed-wave Doppler transducer would show reasonable accuracy parameters when compared with standard color-coded carotid duplex ultrasound (CDU). METHODS We prospectively screened for cervical internal carotid arter...

Two methods for determining the degree of stenoses developing on the origin of the internal carotid were tested using non-invasive Doppler ultrasonic imaging (DOPSCAN) of the carotid bifurcations. Spectral analysis of Doppler audio recordings was utilized in determining the maximum frequencies found within the stenosis, as well as the ratio of the frequency downstream to the stenosis, to the fr...
متن کاملContinuous wave Doppler ultrasonography in the detection of carotid stenosis and occlusion.
Directional continuous wave Doppler ultrasonography has been used to assess the extracranial carotid arteries of over 500 patients, 90 of whom have had angiography performed. The angiographic and Doppler findings are compared, showing that this simple ultrasound technique is able to detect carotid stenosis and occlusion, but is unreliable in the detection of mild atheromatous change. In this se...
