Role of Conventional Angiography in Evaluation of Patients with Caroid Artery Stenosis Demonstrated by Doppler Ultrasound in General Practice
Stroke 32:2287-2291, Qureshi,A.,et al, 2001
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
The present accuracy of carotid Doppler ultrasound in general practice does not justify its use as the sole basis of selecting appropriate patients for carotid intervention. Given the relatively low rate of associated morbidity with present day techniques, additional confirmatory studies such as angiography should be performed in every patient before a decision regarding intervention is made.
