Detection of an Arterial-Bypass-Graft-Threatening Lesion by Use of Duplex Ultrasonography and Magnetic Resonance Angiography in an Asymptomatic Patient
The authors describe a unique case in which Doppler ultrasonography and magnetic resonance angiography were used to detect a graft-threatening lesion in an asympto matic patient.
