Bypass Graft Surveillance Scan

A Bypass Graft Surveillance Ultrasound is an ultrasound scan that looks at the area where you have an arterial bypass graft, usually in the legs. This scan checks how well blood is flowing through the graft and helps identify any narrowing or blockages that could affect how the graft is working. Regular Bypass Graft Surveillance is important to make sure the graft stays healthy and continues to function properly.

This scan is safe, painless, and provides clear information about the condition of your bypass graft. Doctors often use the Bypass Graft Surveillance Ultrasound to monitor grafts over time and to detect any problems early.
