The effect of unilateral internal carotid arterial occlusion upon contralateral duplex study: criteria for accurate interpretation.

Abstract：

:To determine the influence of unilateral internal carotid arterial occlusion (ICO) on Doppler frequency spectral analysis (DFSA) of the patent contralateral carotid artery, a retrospective review of 154 patients between July 1987 and December 1991 with angiographically confirmed ICO was performed, correlating duplex and arteriographic findings in a blinded fashion. Biplane arteriograms and bilateral carotid artery duplex studies that used a 5.0 MHz Doppler probe with a 1.5 mm3 sample volume at a 60 degree angle of insonation were performed on all patients. Each carotid artery was categorized by the severity of stenosis as quantified by arteriography: 1% to 15% (n = 41); 16% to 49% (n = 48), 50% to 79% (n = 21), 80% to 99% (n = 34), and bilateral occlusion (n = 10). DFSA peak systolic frequencies were commonly exaggerated in the presence of contralateral ICO and use of standard criteria for DFSA interpretation overestimated bifurcation stenoses in 43 of 89 lesions (48.3%) when determining nonhemodynamically significant lesions (less than 50% diameter reduction) with a sensitivity of only 57.3% and specificity of 96.9%. Conversely, prediction of hemodynamically significant lesions (greater than 50% diameter reduction) with standard criteria had 96.9% sensitivity but only 57.3% specificity. Modification of these criteria to account for the velocity increase or "jet effect" in the ipsilateral carotid artery system increased the sensitivity and specificity to 97.8% in predicting nonhemodynamically and hemodynamically significant stenoses respectively. A Doppler frequency spectrum with a peak systolic frequency (PSF) greater than 4.0 kHz and end-diastolic frequency (EDF) less than 5 kHz with an "open window" distinguished lesions with less than 50% diameter reduction.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
