    Abstract:
    For the diagnostics of obliterating vascular changes in the supraaortic area the invasive diagnostics of the vessels is not to be renounced now as before. The indication to the angiographic investigation results from clinical, perfusion-scintigraphic and Doppler-sonographic-findings. Of 390 patients 289 pathological angiographic findings in the supraaortic vascular area. In 101 patients normal findings were stated. Altogether 509 individual pathological findings were represented. In the comparison of the results of the investigations in the various diagnostic methods the clinical neurological investigation showed itself as particularly evident method. It should be decisive for the indication to the invasive diagnostics. The correspondence between the angiographic findings and the result of the perfusion-scintigraphic and Doppler-sonographic investigations, respectively, was the greater the more expressed the extracranial vascular findings represented themselves. In 127 patients with multiple obliterating vascular changes the size of the pathological changes and their localization could be established only angiographically.
