Unexpected identification of peak systolic velocity in the radial artery as a risk factor for functional primary patency of radiocephalic fistulas by Rui Cong, Songxiu Li, Shasha Shi

“…Notably, the group with a peak systolic velocity of the radial artery near the elbow ≤59 cm/s demonstrated a higher primary patency rate compared to the >59 cm/s group at 2 years (78.4% vs 57.5%, P = 0.026).In the univariate Cox proportional hazard models, the P values for gender, the diameter of radial artery near the elbow, the peak systolic velocity of radial artery near the elbow, the diameter of brachial artery near the elbow were less than 0.1. …”
