Noninvasive Monitoring of Internal Carotid Artery Dissection Stroke 25:998-1005, Steinke,W.,et al, 1994 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract Initial Doppler findings were abnormal in all patients,most of whom(68%) presented with a characteristic bidirectional high-resistance Doppler signal in the internal carotid artery.Gradual recanalization was found in 68%of the dissections after an average interval of 51 days.Changes of Doppler flow patterns in follow-up studies and features of intra-arterial angiography correlated with the development of internal carotid artery dissection and mirrored the recanalization process.Our findings suggest that Doppler sonography provides early recognition of internal carotid artery dissection and monitoring of its resolution.Thus,ultrasound studies may guide clinical decisions according to the development of the dissect9ion.
