Carotid Phonoangiography and Oculoplethysmography for Noninvasive Evaluation of Carotid Occlusive Disease

Authors: C. D. DIETZEN MD, R. C. BATSON MD, L. H. HOLLIER MD

Abstract

ABSTRACTIn evaluating results of carotid phonoangiography (CPA) and Oculoplethysmography (OPG) in 53 patients who had carotid arteriography, we found the accuracy of CPA to be 61% and the accuracy of OPG, 60.4%. Until future investigation clarifies significant differences in the reported results of CPA and OPG, these tests cannot be recommended for reliable, noninvasive evaluation of extracranial carotid occlusive disease.
