Continuous Doppler ultrasound is a highly accurate, non-invasive method for detecting carotid stenosis. Its systematic use is recommended due to high validity and cost-effectiveness in diagnosing extracranial carotid disease.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Vascular Medicine
  • Diagnostic Imaging

Background:

  • Carotid stenosis detection is crucial for surgical intervention.
  • Continuous Doppler ultrasound, combined with orbital blood flow analysis, offers significant diagnostic utility.
  • This study evaluates the systematic application of Doppler ultrasound in a specialized laboratory setting.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the diagnostic accuracy of continuous Doppler ultrasound compared to conventional angiography for carotid stenosis.
  • To determine the concordance and validity indicators of Doppler ultrasound in identifying carotid stenosis.

Main Methods:

  • A sequential study of 708 patients over 10 years.
  • Comparison of continuous Doppler ultrasound data with conventional angiography (gold standard).

  • Calculation of validity parameters (sensitivity, specificity, predictive value, precision) at various stenosis cut-off points (50%, 70%, 100%).

    • Main Results:

    • High overall coincidence (91.95%) between Doppler ultrasound and angiography.
    • Excellent precision (>94.35%) at defined stenosis cut-off points.
    • Doppler ultrasound demonstrated high specificity (>95%) and negative predictive value (>96%) compared to angiography.

    Conclusions:

    • Continuous Doppler ultrasound is a validated, ideal non-invasive method for diagnosing carotid stenosis.
    • Systematic use of Doppler ultrasound is recommended for suspected extracranial carotid disease.
    • The cost-effectiveness of Doppler ultrasound supports its widespread adoption as a first-line diagnostic tool in Neurology departments.
