This report describes the case of a 44-year-old female with aberrant upper extremity arterial anatomy who developed ISS following a radio-cephalic fistula. Ultrasound evaluation revealed abnormal blood flow in the radial artery and identified a communication between the radial and ulnar arteries distal to the anastomosis of the arteriovenous fistula. These findings assisted with the development of a surgical plan to ligate the intervening radial artery which resulted in resolution of the ISS symptoms.","PeriodicalId":52510,"journal":{"name":"Journal for Vascular Ultrasound","volume":"46 1","pages":"182 - 182"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41370549","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our objectives were to determine the relationships between ECA peak systolic velocity (PSV) and percent stenosis seen on confirmatory imaging, as well as to correlate ECA hemodynamics with known ICA disease by CDU. Methods: A retrospective chart review was performed for patients who had CDU, as well as confirmatory testing such as angiography, at a single academic medical center. ICA stenosis was grouped into 4 categories (0 = <50%, 1 = 50%-69%, 2 = 70%-99%, 3 = 100%) based on validated CDU criteria. ECA PSVs were analyzed, in addition to degree of both ECA and ICA stenosis from the same CDU study. Results: Of 247 carotid arteries reviewed, 136 vessels were included in the final analysis. The mean PSV of the normal ECA cohort (<50% ECA stenosis per the NASCET measurement method) was 135.3 ± 82.1 cm/s, and the mean PSV of the diseased ECA cohort was 279.7 ± 112.2 cm/s. Mean ECA PSV for each category of ICA stenosis was: ICA category 0 = 119.9 cm/s; category 1 = 200.4 cm/s; category 2 = 167.7 cm/s; and category 3 = 155.5 cm/s. There was a statistically significant but non-linear difference in ECA velocities between ICA stenosis categories 0 vs 1 (mean rank diff. −49.91 cm/s; P = .0007); and 0 vs 2 (mean rank diff. −32.61 cm/s; P = .0047). Conclusion: We have demonstrated a possible separation of <50% vs ≥50% stenosis of the ICA using ECA PSV. Although the data suggest a weak but statistically significant correlation between ECA PSV and degree of ICA stenosis, further data with a larger sample size and confirmatory studies are needed to utilize ECA hemodynamics to indicate ICA disease.","PeriodicalId":52510,"journal":{"name":"Journal for Vascular Ultrasound","volume":"47 1","pages":"26 - 32"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42478625","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Vascular ultrasound examinations were retrospectively evaluated using the Intersocietal Accreditation Commission (IAC) Quality Improvement (QI) self-assessment tool to evaluate the quality of the examinations and to determine inter-rater and intra-rater agreement between groups of vascular technologists and interpreting physicians. Vascular technologists and attending interpreting physicians evaluated 100 carotid Doppler and 100 lower extremity venous Doppler examinations utilizing the IAC QI self-assessment tool. Gwet’s First-Order Agreement Coefficient (AC1) statistic and 95% confidence intervals were calculated to determine both inter-rater and intra-rater agreement. The inter-rater agreement for 91% of all questions ranged from substantial (AC1 = 0.6) to almost perfect (AC1 = 1) for both examination types across all reviewers. Agreement on 2 questions was suboptimal: specifically, the technical quality section for the vascular technologists showed slight agreement for carotid Doppler and venous Doppler examinations (AC1 = 0.108 and 0.087, respectively), and the case review section for the interpreting physicians showed poor agreement for carotid Doppler examinations (AC1 = –0.087) and fair agreement for venous Doppler examinations (AC1 = 0.329). The intra-rater agreement among the interpreting physicians for both examinations was in the almost perfect range (Carotid AC1 = 0.875-1; Venous AC1 = 0.871-1). The intra-rater agreement among the vascular technologists for both examinations ranged from slight to almost perfect (Carotid AC1 = 0.191-1; Venous AC1 = 0.155-1). Substantial to almost perfect agreement among all reviewers was observed for most of the quality review questions. The IAC QI self-assessment tool aided in identifying areas for improvement in vascular studies and the comments captured in the technical quality section of the tool were instrumental in establishing areas for quality improvement.","PeriodicalId":52510,"journal":{"name":"Journal for Vascular Ultrasound","volume":"47 1","pages":"49 - 49"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48951898","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
