Resumen
Introducción

En los últimos años ha crecido el interés por indicar la endarterectomía carotídea basada en eco-Doppler, por lo que es imprescindible la validación continuada de los laboratorios hemodinámicos de los servicios de Cirugía Vascular.

Objetivos

Presentar la concordancia del eco-Doppler frente a una prueba de referencia en los pacientes remitidos a nuestro laboratorio. Identificar el grupo de pacientes en los que la exactitud del eco-Doppler podría emplearse como prueba de diagnóstico único preoperatoria.

Pacientes y métodos

Se estudian 47 pacientes (94 carótidas) con sospecha de enfermedad carotídea significativa en pacientes remitidos a nuestro laboratorio. En todos se realiza prueba de referencia de control (arteriografía: 78,7%; angiorresonancia: 21,3%).

Resultados

Se ha obtenido en el total de la serie un coeficiente kappa de 0,89 dúplex-prueba de referencia. Se detectaron 10 oclusiones, que se confirmaron con pruebas de referencia. Las curvas COR (serie global) para la velocidad sistólica (VS), velocidad diastólica (VD) y ratio VS carótida interna/común (VSI/VSC) presentaron las áreas 92,7, 93,4 y 90,5%, respectivamente. Se han establecido como puntos de corte de estenosis grave los siguientes: VS: 275 cm/s (sensibilidad: 93,3%; especificidad: 88,9%); VD: 90 cm/s (sensibilidad: 90%; especificidad: 94,4%) y ratio VSI/VSC: 3,5 (sensibilidad: 90%; especificidad: 85,2%). La validez del eco-Doppler mejora cuando se excluyen los pacientes con estenosis grave u oclusión contralateral (COR VS: 97,2%; VD: 97,7%; ratio VSI/VSC: 92,5%). En el diagnóstico de estenosis grave con contralateral levemoderada, el valor kappa ha sido 0,95.

Conclusiones

El dúplex carotídeo es una prueba fiable y válida en el diagnóstico de la estenosis carotídea extracraneal. Puede utilizarse como diagnóstico preoperatorio único cuando el eje carotídeo contralateral no presente enfermedad grave y el estudio sea de buena calidad.

Summary
Introduction

In recent years there has been growing interest to indicate Doppler ultrasound-based carotid endarterectomy, which thus makes continual validation by the haemodynamic laboratories in Vascular Surgery services essential.

Aims

Our aim was to present a comparison of DU versus a reference test in patients referred to our laboratory. We also sought to identify the group of patients that allowed the precision of Doppler ultrasound to be used as a single preoperative diagnostic test.

Patients and methods

We studied a sample of 47 patients (94 carotids) who were referred to our laboratory with suspected significant carotid diseases. A control reference test was carried out in all of them (arteriography: 78.7%; MR angiography: 21.3%).

Results

A duplex-reference test kappa coefficient of 0.89 was obtained for the whole series. Ten occlusions were detected, which were confirmed with reference tests. The ROC curves (overall series) for the systolic velocity (SV), diastolic velocity (DV) and the internal/common carotid SV ratio (ISV/CSV) presented areas of 92.7, 93.4 and 90.5%, respectively. The following cut-off points for severe stenosis were established: SV: 275 cm/s (sensitivity: 93.3%; specificity: 88.9%); DV: 90 cm/s (sensitivity: 90%; specificity: 94.4%) and the ISV/CSV ratio: 3.5 (sensitivity: 90%; specificity: 85.2%). The validity of Doppler ultrasound is improved when patients with severe stenosis or contralateral occlusion are excluded (ROC SV: 97.2%; DV: 97.7%; ISV/CSV ratio: 92.5%). In the diagnosis of severe stenosis with mild-moderate contralateral stenosis, the kappa value was 0.95.

Conclusions

Carotid duplex is a reliable, valid test for diagnosing extracranial carotid stenosis. It can be used as a single preoperative diagnosis when the contralateral carotid axis does not present any serious disease and the study is of sufficiently high quality.
