I think part of the question was how do you define "severe" disease.
Before duplex was as easily obtained as it is now my cutoff was 0.5 now it is 0.8 because I know at that point there is hemodynamically significant disease and the next question is where, and what needs to be done about it, both questions best answered by duplex.
