Hi Gail,

We usually scan them prior to discharge or at the first post-procedure
office visit.  Then usually every 6 months.  The only criteria we have
is what we currently use for the native carotid vessels. However, our
velocities tend to be higher so our lower cut off was raised from 125 to
150 cm/s.
