Correlation of Transcranial Doppler Breath Holding Test and Acetazolamide SPECT Scan for Anterior Circulation Steno-Occlusive Disease (P6.019)

Conclusions: There was a modest correlation between TCD-R and acetazolamide SPECT scan for anterior circulation steno-occlusive disease in our patient cohort. TCD-R demonstrated higher sensitivity for the detection of poor cerebrovascular reserve than acetazolamide SPECT. Further studies are needed to determine which study is more useful in the management of this high-risk population. Disclosure: Dr. Parikh has nothing to disclose. Dr. Cerejo has nothing to disclose.
