2016 AHA/ACC Guideline on the Management of Patients With Lower Extremity Peripheral Artery Disease

Recommendations for Longitudinal Follow-Up in the Patient With PAD

Class I

"1.Patients with PAD should be followed up with periodic clinical evaluation, including assessment of cardiovascular risk factors, limb symptoms, and functional status.(Level of Evidence: C-EO)"

"2.Patients with PAD who have undergone lower extremity revascularization (surgical and/or endovascular) should be followed up with periodic clinical evaluation and ABI measurement.(Level of Evidence: C-EO)"

Class IIa

"1. Duplex ultrasound can be beneficial for routine surveillance of infrainguinal, autogenous vein bypass grafts in patients with PAD. (Level of Evidence: B-R)"

"2. Duplex ultrasound is reasonable for routine surveillance after endovascular procedures in patients with PAD. (Level of Evidence: C-LD)"

Class IIb

"1. The effectiveness of duplex ultrasound for routine surveillance of infrainguinal prosthetic bypass grafts in patients with PAD is uncertain. (Level of Evidence: B-R)"
