The development of an ideal small-diameter conduit for use in vascular bypass surgery has
yet to be achieved. The ongoing innovation in biomaterial design generates novel conduits …

1.1. Purpose The European Society for Vascular Surgery (ESVS), in line with its mission,
appointed the Vascular Access (VA) Writing Committee (WC) to write the current clinical …

Background—We tested the hypothesis that basal (resting) limb blood flow and vascular
conductance are reduced with age in adult humans and that these changes are related to …

This review examines four imaging modalities; ultrasound (US), digital subtraction
angiography (DSA), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) …

1 In experimental animals chronic elevations in arterial blood flow increase the lumen
diameter and reduce the intima‐media thickness (IMT) of the arterial segment involved. We …

1 Basal whole‐limb blood flow and vascular conductance decrease with age in men. We
determined whether these age‐associated changes in limb haemodynamics are mediated …

Background: Measurement of access blood flow is the preferred noninvasive screening test
for hemodialysis arteriovenous (AV) fistula stenosis. However, performance characteristics …

The purposes of this study were to determine the relationship between performance in the
Yo-Yo intermittent recovery test level 1 (YIRT1), the Yo-Yo intermittent recovery test level 2 …

Arteriovenous fistulae are created surgically to provide adequate access for dialysis patients
suffering from end-stage renal disease. It has long been hypothesized that the rapid blood …

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) grafts placed into the arterial circulation of baboons for 8
weeks under high blood flow (HF) conditions develop a thin intima composed of smooth …
