Lower Extremity Arterial Bypass Grafts
Lower Extremity Arterial Bypass Grafts
This lesson covers arterial bypass graft evaluation using duplex ultrasound, including different graft types (synthetic vs. autogenous vein), normal hemodynamic profiles, and diagnostic criteria for identifying stenosis, occlusion, and other pathologies. Students learn surveillance protocols, failure mechanisms at different postoperative timepoints, and the essential components of B-mode, color, and spectral Doppler imaging for graft assessment.
Transcript
15:06 lessonThis is unit 16. We're gonna talk about arterial bypass graft testing. Main objectives to this unit is to describe different types of arterial bypasses and normal hemodynamic profiles of arterial bypass grafts. We're gonna define the essential components of an arterial bypass graft scan, including B mode, color, and spectral doppler. And we're also going to list the diagnostic criteria employed...
