Population

63 patients with 31 symptomatic and 44 asymptomatic carotid stenoses

Comparison

Implication

DCFI may aid morphologic plaque assessment in carotid stenosis; leaves open its value for risk stratification or management decisions.

Structured PICO

Can Doppler color-flow imaging identify distinct morphologic or hemodynamic features separating symptomatic from asymptomatic high-grade carotid stenoses?

P
Population
63 patients with 31 symptomatic and 44 asymptomatic carotid stenoses (≥80% stenosis by conventional Doppler duplex)
I
Intervention
Doppler color-flow imaging (DCFI)
C
Comparator
Comparison between symptomatic and asymptomatic stenoses, and comparison with angiography (n=30)
O
Outcome
Plaque surface morphology and color-coded hemodynamic patternssurrogate

Doppler color-flow imaging can identify distinct morphologic features, such as ulcerated and echolucent plaques, that differentiate symptomatic from asymptomatic high-grade carotid stenoses.
