The accuracy of angiographic diagnosis of carotid artery ulceration was evaluated. Of those carotid bifurcations showing ulceration at surgery, 60% were diagnosed as having ulcers at angiography. Half of the remaining ulcers occurred in smooth, benign-appearing plaques and were too small to be seen at angiography. An incorrect angiographic diagnosis of ulceration was made in 17 of 50 carotid arteries; in most cases this was due to the presence of a subintimal hematoma in the wall of the artery.
评估了颈动脉溃疡血管造影诊断的准确性。在手术中显示有溃疡的颈动脉分叉处，60%在血管造影时被诊断为有溃疡。其余溃疡中有一半发生在光滑、外观良性的斑块中，且太小而在血管造影时无法看到。50条颈动脉中有17条血管造影对溃疡的诊断有误；在大多数情况下，这是由于动脉壁内存在内膜下血肿。
