METHOD FOR SPECIFYING INDICATIONS FOR SURGICAL REPAIR OF INTERNAL CAROTID ARTERY IN TANDEM STENOSIS

摘要

FIELD: medicine.;SUBSTANCE: patient suffering tandem stenosis of internal carotid artery is placed horizontally. An ultrasonic linear sensor of an echocardiograph is positioned behind a sternocleidomastoid muscle above an upper edge of a thyroid cartilage. That is followed by detecting a blood flow on an echocardiograph monitor on the distal direction from an internal carotid sinus; Doppler sonography is recorded to measure a diastolic blood velocity, and if the measured velocity exceeds 3 cm/s, a surgical repair of the internal carotid artery is considered applicable.;EFFECT: method enables providing specifying the more reliable indications for the surgical repair of the internal carotid artery in tandem stenosis, and reducing injuries by performing non-invasive and non-toxic manipulations.;4 ex
