Duplex ultrasonography offers advantages for assessing lower limb arterial disease. This review suggests it should replace arteriography as the primary diagnostic tool.

Area of Science:

Vascular Medicine
Diagnostic Imaging

Background:

Arteriography has been the standard for diagnosing lower limb arterial disease.
Duplex ultrasonography presents significant theoretical and practical advantages.

Purpose of the Study:

To review the current clinical status of lower limb arterial duplex ultrasonography.
To evaluate its role as a diagnostic tool compared to arteriography.

Main Methods:

Review of existing literature and clinical practice regarding lower limb arterial duplex ultrasonography.
Comparison of duplex ultrasonography with arteriography for assessing arterial disease.

Main Results:

Duplex ultrasonography demonstrates numerous advantages over arteriography.

Related Experiment Videos

Despite these benefits, widespread clinical adoption remains limited.

Conclusions:

Arteriography should no longer be considered the gold standard for diagnosing lower limb arterial disease.
Duplex ultrasonography should be established as the first-line investigation for patients with this condition.
