BACKGROUND: Vertebrobasilar (VB) strokes appear to have the same causes as carotid strokes. Obstructive lesions of proximal vertebral arteries probably occur in about 30% of stroke patients.
PURPOSE: Our aim was to assess the validity of color Doppler sonography compared to selective intra-arterial angiography in the quantification of proximal vertebral artery stenoses.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: A prospective blind study of 316 vertebral arteries was undertaken between 1996 and 1998. One hundred and fifty-eight patients with cerebrovascular disorders without cerebral hemorrhage were studied consecutively by frequency or amplitude color Doppler flow imaging and intra-arterial angiography. The lesions were quantified by morphological and hemodynamic criteria and classified into 6 groups: 0% 207 arteries; 1-29% 32 arteries; 30-49% 29 arteries; 50-69% 13 arteries; 70-99% 23 arteries; 100% 12 arteries.
RESULTS: Ten of the 12 occlusions were identified, the 2 false-negatives were due to 2 revascularized vessels. Moderate stenoses (<50%) were differentiated from tight stenoses (>50%) using hemodynamic criteria. The majority of false-negative stenoses (38) in the different groups were related to intrathoracic or very deep origin of the artery, anechogenic stenosis or a tortuous vessel. Stenoses greater than 70% were diagnosed in 71% of cases with a specificity of 99%. The kappa value was 0.80.
CONCLUSION: Duplex sonography should be proposed first in VB attacks or stroke to detect and quantify vertebral artery stenoses for surgery and angioplasty.
