Ultrasound Assessment of Endothelial-Dependent Flow-Mediated Vasodilation of the Brachial Artery in Clinical Research
Published on: October 22, 2014
Abstract:
Sixteen patients with various lesions involving the brachiocephalic arteries were studied ultrasonographically. The examination was very useful in diagnosing aneurysms of the peripheral arteries and in differentiating an aneurysm from other causes of palpable pulsatile masses, such as a tortuous artery and tumor beneath an artery. The ultrasound technique used for evaluation of these lesions is described.
