Evaluation of arteriovenous fistula for hemodialysis with a new generation digital stethoscope: a pilot study

ConclusionsThe analysis of sound waves by a digital stethoscope permitted us to distinguish between stenotic and no stenotic AVFs. The standardization of this technique and the introducing of data in a deep learning algorithm could allow an objective and fast method for a frequent monitoring of AVF.
