Doppler waveforms were collected at the vertebral artery ostia, thyrocervical trunks, and proximal subclavian arteries while the mastoid tap maneuver was performed. The outcome indicator was serrate distortion of the Doppler waveform. Two raters graded the waveforms according to a 3\u2010grade system: grade 0, no distortion; grade 1, mild distortion; and grade 3, marked distortion. The difference between the proportions of the vertebral artery ostia and thyrocervical trunks showing waveform distortion was evaluated with the \u03c7<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup> test. The differences in the extents of waveform distortion in the ipsilateral vertebral artery ostia, thyrocervical trunks, and subclavian arteries were evaluated with Friedman and Wilcoxon signed rank tests.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Ninety\u2010five vertebral artery ostia in 50 patients were successfully assessed.

There were significant differences in the extents of distortion between the ipsilateral vertebral artery ostia and thyrocervical trunks and between the ipsilateral vertebral artery ostia and subclavian arteries, with the vertebral artery ostia showing a higher degree of distortion in both cases (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt;
