Key result
Ultrasound reveals intracranial stenosis or occlusion in ~51% of Chinese patients with TIA.
Observational (n=96)
We studied 96 Chinese patients with TIAs using transcranial Doppler and duplex ultrasonography. We found intracranial stenosis or occlusion in 51% of cases and extracranial disease in 19% of cases. The most common intracranial lesion was stenosis of the terminal internal carotid artery or proximal middle cerebral artery, whereas the most common extracranial lesion was stenosis of the carotid bifurcation.

Huang et al. (1997) conducted an observational in Transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) (n=96). Transcranial Doppler and duplex ultrasonography was evaluated on Intracranial stenosis or occlusion. Transcranial Doppler and duplex ultrasonography identified intracranial stenosis/occlusion in 51% and extracranial disease in 19% of Chinese patients with TIAs.
