Diagnostic Performance of the Maximal Systolic Acceleration for Detecting a Significant Stenosis in the Aortoiliac and Popliteal Pathway: A Retrospective Cohort Study
The maximal systolic acceleration (ACC<sub>max</sub>) is a promising non-invasive parameter measured by duplex ultrasonography to diagnose peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and reflects the arterial perfusion proximal to its measurement point. This study focused on its diagnostic accuracy to detect a significant stenosis in the aortoiliac and popliteal pathway, which revealed to be promising with excellent sensitivity and specificity. These findings suggest that ACC<sub>max</sub> measurements could play a key role in developing a new diagnostic approach for PAD.
