Color Doppler imaging of the ocular and orbital blood vessels.

Curr Opin Ophthalmol

Wills Eye Hospital, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Published: December 1993

Color Doppler imaging (CDI) is a technique that provides color-encoded blood flow information on a gray-scale two-dimensional background. Although first reported in the investigation of orbital disease in 1979, it is only in the past 1 to 2 years that CDI has become established as a tool in the assessment of vascular disease of the eye and orbit. Discussed are clinical syndromes in which CDI has been shown to demonstrate abnormalities and also assist in diagnosis and determination of etiology.

Color doppler blood flow analysis in circumscribed choroidal hemangioma.

Arq Bras Oftalmol

January 2025

Department of Ophthalmology & Visual Sciences, Escola Paulista de Medicina, Universidade Federal de São Paulo, São Paulo, SP, Brazil.

Purpose: To evaluate if color Doppler can detect internal blood flow in circumscribed choroidal hemangioma.

Methods: This cross-sectional study examined seven eyes of seven participants with circumscribed choroidal hemangiomas, with or without prior treatment. B-scan ultrasound and color Doppler were used to assess the dimensions, topographical distribution, and internal blood flow of the affected eyes.

Optimizing the life of vascular access during follow-up.

J Cardiovasc Surg (Torino)

February 2025

Department of Vascular Surgery, ASST Settelaghi Universitary Teaching Hospital, University of Insubria, Varese, Italy.

Optimizing the longevity of vascular access in hemodialysis patients remains a critical aspect of patient care, given the significant role of arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) and arteriovenous grafts (AVGs) in enabling effective dialysis. Vascular access complications, such as stenosis, thrombosis, and cannulation-related damage, continue to challenge both the functionality and the sustainability of these access points. Recent advancements underscore the importance of a robust follow-up strategy, integrating clinical evaluations with diagnostic tools like color Doppler ultrasound (CDU) and emerging interventional approaches such as drug-coated balloon (DCB) angioplasty.

Aim: The current investigation aimed to evaluate the accuracy of ultrasonography and color Doppler performed in the diagnosis of intraosseous jaw lesions.

Materials And Methods: A total of 30 patients with intraosseous jaw lesions between the ages of 12 and 60 were selected for the present study. For every jaw lesion, a preliminary diagnosis was done using preoperative conventional radiographs.

Background: Superior caval vein obstruction is a rare complication of endocardial pacing lead implantation that can result in a right to left shunt.

Case Summary: A 3-year-old child with type 2 Brugada syndrome presented with mild cyanosis post-endocardial pacing implantation due to evolutionary right superior caval vein obstruction. This obstruction resulted in a right to left shunt across a previously unrecognized patent levo-atrial cardinal vein associated with partial anomalous pulmonary venous drainage.

Aims: Studies specifically examining the sonographic features of juvenile fibroadenoma in the pediatric population have not been documented. We aimed to analyze sonograms of juvenile fibroadenoma in children.

Subjects And Methods: Patients aged ≤ 18 years who underwent breast ultrasound examinations at our department and had pathologically proven juvenile fibroadenoma from September 2002 to January 2022 were included in this study.
