Slow-flow venous pressure for detection of arteriovenous graft malfunction Gary R. Sirken, Chetan Shah, Rasib Raja Kidney International Volume 63, Issue 5, Pages 1894-1898 (May 2003) DOI: 10.1046/j.1523-1755.2003.00922.x Copyright © 2003 International Society of Nephrology Terms and Conditions
Figure 1 Percent change in outlet pressure between thrombosed and functional arteriovenous (AV) graft. The most significant difference in pressure between the functioning (N = 40) and thrombosed (N = 21) grafts was at static flow [outlet venous pressure (OP) at blood flow (Qb) of 0mL/min] and slow-flow pressure (SFpr) (OP at Qb of 50mL/min) [formula = (thrombosed value – functional value)/thrombosed value]. *P value < 0.05.
