Abstract

Continuous-wave Doppler and angiography of the vertebro-basilar system were used in 38 patients with vertebro-basilar transient ischemic attacks. 63 vertebral arteries were studied. Among 47 normal Doppler parameters, 46 were confirmed by angiography. The sonographic diagnostic procedure showed a very high negative predictive value (97.87%), while the positive predictive value was relatively low (56.25%). Data from literature were reviewed. The authors suggest that when Doppler of vertebral arteries is negative, there is a very low probability that a follow-up angiography will reveal pathologic conditions calling for a surgical approach.
