The risks of carotid angiography--technical, allergic, cardiac, renal, or emotional--may be lessened or absented by the use of real-time B-mode ultrasound to evaluate carotid artery disease. A patient with amaurosis fugax, a positive fluorescein angiogram, ulceration on ultrasound, and an unremarkable computed tomography scan was operated on without angiography. The pathology was correct and the patient did well.
通过使用实时B型超声来评估颈动脉疾病，颈动脉血管造影的风险——技术风险、过敏风险、心脏风险、肾脏风险或情绪风险——可能会降低或消除。一名患有一过性黑矇、荧光素血管造影呈阳性、超声显示有溃疡且计算机断层扫描无异常的患者未进行血管造影就接受了手术。病理诊断正确，患者恢复良好。
