Abstract

It is now generally accepted that high-quality duplex scanning obviates the need for pre-operative angiography in the assessment of most cases of carotid disease. An information leaflet was circulated to all general practitioners and hospital doctors in early 1996. Indications, results of treatment and details of the open access service were described. This paper outlines the workload that followed, for both imaging and surgical departments.
