  • Chapter

  • 892 Accesses

Abstract

The objectives of this chapter are to (1) summarize specific goals of distinct vascular laboratory arterial examinations, (2) describe protocols for duplex ultrasound arterial mapping (DUAM), (3) describe philosophies of implementation of a preoperative arterial ultrasound mapping program, and (4) summarize advantages of DUAM over X-ray, contrast arteriography (XRA), magnetic resonance angiography (MRA), and computed tomographic arteriography (CTA).The following sections represent the experience acquired with over 1000 arterial procedures performed in the lower extremity based on preoperative and perioperative ultrasound imaging.1–13
