Critical analysis of renal duplex ultrasound parameters in detecting significant renal artery stenosis

Background Several published studies have reported differing results of renal duplex ultrasound (RDU) imaging in detecting significant renal artery stenosis (RAS) using different Doppler parameters. This study is the largest to date to compare RDU imaging vs angiography and assess various published...

Description
Summary:Background Several published studies have reported differing results of renal duplex ultrasound (RDU) imaging in detecting significant renal artery stenosis (RAS) using different Doppler parameters. This study is the largest to date to compare RDU imaging vs angiography and assess various published Doppler criteria. Methods RDU imaging and angiography were both done in 313 patients (606 renal arteries). RAS was classified as normal,
