[Lower limb arterial disease: Doppler sonography follow-up after revascularization].
Follow-up color duplex sonography after arterial surgery or angioplasty for lower limb arterial disease evaluates the outcome of the procedure and searches for lesions compromising patency. The various types of lesions are described. After surgical bypass, lesions include stenosis, anastomotic abnormality (enlargement, false-aneurysm), arterio-venous fistula, intrinsic bypass abnormalities, and collections. After endoluminal treatment, the main lesions include residual stenosis, restenosis, and in-stent hyperplasia. Local complications related to arterial puncture are described. The frequency and the type of lesions encountered depend on the interval between the date of the revascularization and the follow-up examination.
