Imaging ultrasonography during blood vessel operations.
Real-time ultrasound B-mode scanning was used during vascular operations to detect defects produced by reconstructive surgery. Ultrasound detection of defects was more accurate than arteriography. Use of operative imaging led to re-exploration and correction of defects in 8% of patients undergoing vascular reconstruction.
