The Significance of Inflow Artery and Tourniquet Derived Cephalic Vein Diameters on Predicting Successful Use and Patency of Arteriovenous Fistulas for Haemodialysis.
European Journal of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery（2017）
Abstract
Among patients undergoing radiocephalic AVFs, a tourniquet derived cephalic vein diameter <4.3 mm was the single independent predictor of inferior secondary and functional secondary patency. Among patients undergoing brachiocephalic AVFs, all patency rates were inferior in the presence of a brachial artery diameter ≤4.1 mm and secondary patency was inferior in the presence of multiple risk factors.
