“…The follow-up, however, was only 3 months, and the study was not blinded. Wilson et al 37 and Olojugba et al 38 have studied the predictive value of predischarge duplex scanning for risk graft identification with conflicting results. To sum up the information available, efforts to allocate grafts into high-and low-risk categories in relation to the stenosis development have not been successful, and still no method of decreasing the number of grafts undergoing surveillance exists.…”
