Preoperative noninvasive artery flow volume and maturation of arteriovenous fistulae: A single surgeon's experience from 403 cases.

CONCLUSION: Preoperative arterial diameter and flow volume values were both significant independent variables affecting arteriovenous fistula maturation rate. However, flow volume of <20 mL/min remained a significant risk factor to failure-to-mature rate, despite optimal arterial diameter.
