Abstract

Surveillance following lower extremity bypass, carotid endarterectomy, and endovascular aortic aneurysm repair has become the standard of care. Conversely, surveillance following lower extremity endovascular interventions is performed somewhat sporadically, in part because the duplex criteria for recurrent stenoses have been ill-defined. Duplex surveillance provides objective, hemodynamic, and anatomic data both pre and post intervention. It appears that duplex surveillance after peripheral endovascular interventions, as with conventional bypass, is beneficial in identifying recurrent lesions which when accompanied by reintervention may preclude failure and occlusion. Although not yet well-studied, it appears that applying routine surveillance following lower extremity endovascular interventions may assist in preventing failure of endovascular interventions.
