Department of Vascular Surgery, University Hospital Geelong, Geelong, Australia.
Backgrounds: Infra-inguinal bypass (IIB) surgery is a time-proven and reliable management avenue for the treatment of peripheral arterial disease (PAD). The importance of ultrasound surveillance in maintaining IIB graft patency is well-recognised, yet adherence rates are underreported. This study evaluates the impact of surveillance compliance on graft outcomes in an Australian setting.
