[Standardized follow-up after peripheral bypass operation].
We present a standard protocol of postoperative controls designed for early recognition of possible stenosis or graft failures after peripheral bypass operations. This protocol includes: a) angiography during the first week after surgery, b) clinical and Doppler-pressure measurement 1, 3, 6 and 12 months after surgery. 53 patients with 62 peripheral bypasses were followed. The cumulative patency rate was 87.5% after 12 months.
