A patient is sent to your laboratory to have his lower extremity bypass graft evaluated with duplex. While performing the examination you notice that the velocity at the proximal anastomosis is 80 cm/s. You continue the examination and obtain a pulse wave Doppler signal about 1cm distal to the proximal anastomosis and you get a velocity of 210 cm/s. What do these findings suggest?

As you evaluate Doppler flow patterns in Mr. B, you document a PSV of 104 cm/s at the distal aorta, 218 cm/s at the take-off of the left common iliac artery (CIA), and 226 cm/s at the right proximal CIA. What would your preliminary report include?
