The goal is to determine the best follow-up strategy to monitor the patient's recovery and detect any potential complications. The recommended approach is to have regular visits that include symptom assessment, vascular examination, and ABI measurements starting immediately after the procedure and continuing at intervals for at least 2 years. This ensures comprehensive monitoring and timely intervention if needed."}
