So, I ask if you have certain criteria for the younger patients?

Yeah - this is likely the situation that the IAC is trying to prevent.
There are tons of interpreting physicians out there who think it is ok to
use the ICA criteria for the CCA.  This is not ok.

However, if any lab has the QA data to back up using a particular velocity
grading system for the CCA, just present everything to the IAC to validate
what you are doing has been proven to be correct, then you are good to go!

Hmmm I guess we only mention if it's patent. I have had certain instances
though in which a physician has read a high velocity in the CCA as 50-79%
(although they were using the ICA criteria...which, I believe, was a young
patient!!!).

Hi Kim,

I don't have any specific standards I can provide but you only need to
include criteria IF you mention specific CCA stenosis information in your
final report.  It is the same for the ECA too.

There was a paper by our friends at Mass General which detailed their
experience in categorizing CCA disease.  I am not sure how many people use
their CCA criteria.

Hi all! It's been quiet, so I thought I'd spice it up...does anyone have
specific diagnostic criteria you would be willing to share for CCA
interpretation? I didn't realize this had been added to the ICAVL standards.
Also, a resource would be great!
Thanks much!
