Analysis of factors affecting brachial artery flow of lateral limb of autologous arteriovenous fistula by Wang Xiao-qin, Zhou Xiang, Zhang Qing-qing, Du Shuang.

“…In the observation group， the peak systolic velocity （PSV） of the proximal anastomosis artery， the inflow diameter of the proximal artery （P=0.006）， the inner diameter of the anastomosis （P=0.020）， PSV of the proximal anastomosis artery （P=0.029）， pre-permeable blood urea nitrogen （P=0.002）， serum calcium （P=0.024） and creatinine （P=0.019） were significantly lower than those of the control group. Logistic regression analysis showed that PSV of proximal arterial inflow （OR=0.982， 95%CI：0.968-0.995， P=0.008）， and pretreatment blood urea nitrogen （OR=0.820， 95%CI：0.709-0.948， P=0.007） were the main factor affecting brachial artery flow of lateral limb in AVF.ConclusionsPSV in the proximal arterial inflow tract， pre-transfusion blood urea nitrogen are the main factors affecting brachial artery flow of lateral limb， and analyzing the factors affecting brachial artery flow of lateral side in AVF can help to guide the medical staff in preventing and treating AVF malfunction.…”
