In terms of TCD velocities, it was noted in the STOP study that sibling pairs were common among abnormals (i.e.
Studies conducted at the Medical College of Georgia (MCG) in the mid-1980's have shown that transcranial doppler (TCD) can identify children at high risk for stroke by detecting high flow rate in major intracranial arteries [ 8 9 ] . Children with flow velocities of 200 cm/sec or higher in middle cerebral or internal carotid arteries (normal = 140-170 cm/sec for sickle cell children) had a stroke risk of 10-15% per year, which represents a 20-fold increase over that for unselected children with sickle cell disease.
Neutrophils were perfused over cell monolayers expression E- or P-selectin and the rolling velocities calculated.
Data from the STOP study showed that ~10% of patients with Hb SS between the ages of 2-16 years are at risk for stroke as determined by Transcranial Doppler (TCD) velocities of 200 cm/sec or greater [ 11 ] . TCD velocity elevation can be due to two factors: reduction of arterial diameter due to stenosis and/or increased volume flow through the artery.
These observations then led to the multicenter STOP (Stroke Prevention Trial in Sickle Cell Anemia) study in which sickle cell children age 2-16 years, from 14 centers in the U.S. and Canada, were screened by TCD [ 10 ] . One hundred thirty patients with flow velocities of >200 cm/sec were randomized to observation or to receive periodic blood transfusions to reduce % Hb S to <30.
