The effect of angioplasty of single arteriovenous fistula-associated stenosis on arteriovenous fistula blood flow rate.

CONCLUSION: Baseline Qa is the best predictor for change in Qa following PTA. Stenosis minimum luminal diameter cutoffs of ⩽2.0 and >4.5 mm are useful in predicting the magnitude of changes in Qa. Percent estimated stenosis is not predictive of change in Qa. PTA of central veins does not seem to change Qa. PMID: 31992122 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
