Abstract
WITH advances in reconstructive vascular surgery and the increase in life expectancy accurate angiographic demonstration of cerebrovascular occlusive disease has become increasingly important. Extracranial arterial occlusive disease, which may be well localized and segmental, is now well recognized as a precursor and common cause of cerebrovascular insufficiency. Although the clinical findings usually indicate the locus of brain involvement, the site and extent of vascular disease often cannot be accurately determined clinically.1 , 2 Palpation of pulsatile arteries, ophthalmodynamometry and auscultation of the neck and mediastinum are helpful adjuncts in determining the site of the occlusive lesions.3 The interpretation of these findings, however, . . .
