INTRODUCTION. At the moment there is no unanimity on the rules of surveillance of the revascularization of lower limbs; not even if this is useful to half and long term. The purpose of the article is to revise the bibliography in order to establish a protocol of follow up modernized according to the last publications. METHODS. The bibliographical base of the National Library Medicine (PubMed) was used. The study was limited to papers published into 10 last years. RESULTS. With this parameters of search 124 entries appear of which, 22 of them makes direct or indirect reference to the purpose while the 102 remaining papers were discarded by not adjusting to the purpose of the search. CONCLUSIONS. Although the rate of amputations, patency and salvages at the 18 months in the followed patients by echo-doppler don't differ significantly of the patients that are included into programs of clinical follow up, a duplex scan sonography at the 6 weeks predicts the natural history of a vein graft and so establish the patients that would benefit from the surveillance by echo-doppler in order to decrease the associate costs and the rate of reinterventions.
