Medical - Medical (general) / carotid + radial artery duplex report
Dutch term or phrase: dd
geen arteriele flow aantoonbaar ter hoogte van de vertebrale goot rechts: dd hypoplastische dd stenotische arteria vertebralis rechts.

Could this be diastolische druk (dd), and if so how does this fit in?

Many thanks,
Ann
