Color and duplex doppler imaging evaluation of extracranial carotid artery in patients presenting with transient ischaemic attack and stroke : a clinical and radiological correlation.

Color Doppler Evaluation of Carotid Arteries in Stroke Patients: A Study Conducted in A rural Tertiary Care Medical College Hospital in South india.

“…In our study, overall 50.4% of plaques were located at bifurcation, 30.6% in the common carotid artery and 19 % in the internal carotid artery. This finding were similar to that observed by Rajagopal et al [10] and SK Sethi et al [11] In our present study, on B mode imaging ulceration was detected in two of the plaques (2%) while oncolour flow imaging six (5%) of the plaques showed evidence of ulceration. Steinke et al [12] also found significant improvement in identification of ulcerated plaques with colour flow imaging over B mode scanning.…”

Colour Doppler Evaluation of Extracranial Carotid Arteries: A Clinical and Radiological Correlation

“…Sethi et al, and Rajagopal et al, found that the carotid bifurcation was commonly involved by the atherosclerotic plaque followed by ICA and intracranial portions of ICA [7,15]. In our study also, the bifurcation was the commonest site affected by the plaque followed by ICA.…”

Stroke and the Extracranial Carotid Arteries: Role of Color Doppler

“…most of which may not harbor an abnormality of the extracranial Carotids (10) . The mean age of patients with carotid stenosis was 66.4 and without carotid stenosis was 54.2.The difference was statistically significant and correlated with Sethi et al (11) . As is shown in Table 4, no atherosclerotic plaque was found in 26 cases (52%) while carotid stenosis was seen in 24 cases (48%).…”

“…As is shown in Table 4, no atherosclerotic plaque was found in 26 cases (52%) while carotid stenosis was seen in 24 cases (48%). Male patients were more than female patients and correlated with Forster et and Sethi et al (11,12) . Increased intimo media thickness (IMT) was seen in total 29% of cases out of which 25% were above 60 years of age.…”
