%X Upper extremity pathology is uncommon and generally involves the brachial artery in about 12% of the cases. Of chronic upper limb ischemia, trauma, fibromuscular dysplasia, giant cell arteritis, and atherosclerosis are among the most reported cases. After a thorough review of the literature, there is agreement with duplex ultrasound sensitivity and specificity for predicting >70% stenosis in the subclavian arteries with a sensitivity of >82% and specificity of >90%. This article not only correlates the relationship between duplex ultrasound and severe peripheral arterial disease, but it also proves with 100% accuracy the ability to detect latent and abnormal pathology of the upper extremities post endovascular intervention
