Abstract

Duplex ultrasound permits safe and accurate assessment of the extracranial vasculature. This paper reports the change in patterns of referral to a specialized vascular unit following its introduction; increased referrals were seen in all specialties except neurology. A widely available and reliable duplex service has revealed more extracranial vascular disease than was previously recognized, and has increased referrals for carotid endarterectomy, thereby increasing surgical workload.

摘要

双功能超声能够对颅外血管系统进行安全、准确的评估。本文报告了在引入该技术后，转诊至专业血管科的模式变化；除神经科外，所有专科的转诊人数均有所增加。一项广泛可用且可靠的双功能超声检查发现了比以往更多的颅外血管疾病，并增加了颈动脉内膜切除术的转诊人数，从而增加了手术工作量。
