Overview

Standardizes ICA stenosis grading on ultrasound for consistent revascularization decisions; provides a benchmark for validating criteria in future studies.

Structured PICO

What are the consensus criteria for diagnosing and grading carotid artery stenosis using gray-scale and Doppler ultrasound?

P
Population
Patients undergoing evaluation for carotid artery stenosis
I
Intervention
Gray-scale, color Doppler, and spectral Doppler ultrasound
O
Outcome
Consensus criteria for diagnosis and grading of internal carotid artery (ICA) stenosissurrogate

This consensus statement provides standardized diagnostic criteria for grading internal carotid artery stenosis using ultrasound parameters, primarily peak systolic velocity and plaque visibility.
