Objetive: to evaluate the efficiency of Duplex Ultrasonography (DUS) for monitoring and screening of Carotid Artery Stenosis (CAS). Method: PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane, and SCOPUS were searched for relevant articles. The quality assessment of the included studies was conducted according to the Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool. Results: our meta-analysis included six articles. We found that carotid DUS could detect mild CAS in 25 %, moderate CAS in 13 %, severe CAS in 14,5 % of the examined vessels, detection of carotid artery plaques in 36,5 % of the examined vessels, and abnormal intima thickness in 21,5 % of the examined vessels. Conclusion: DUS is an important exam in the identification of patients with symptomatic CAS. It can improve clinical practice and provide cost-effective management for CAS. Carotid DUS showed high specificity and sensitivity in the diagnosis of CAS, especially a severe degree of stenosis.
