Fig 2 Pre-procedure (A) and post-procedure (B) cutting balloon angioplasty of proximal vein graft stenosis. Note highly calcified superficial femoral artery (arrows). Velocity at duplex scanning, 402/99 (ankle-brachial index, 0.99). Pre-procedure (C) and post-procedure (D) intravascular ultrasound images of cutting balloon angioplasty demonstrate excellent luminal restoration. However, the patient continued to have elevated flow at duplex scanning (374/87; ankle-brachial index, 0.98). Journal of Vascular Surgery 2004 39, 702-708DOI: (10.1016/j.jvs.2003.10.046)
