Shinya Takase, MD, Luigi Pascarella, MD, John J Bergan, MD, Geert W Schmid-Schönbein, PhD  Journal of Vascular Surgery  Volume 39, Issue 6, Pages (June 2004) DOI: /j.jvs

2 Fig 1 Diagram of femoral vascular anatomy in vicinity of arteriovenous fistula. Journal of Vascular Surgery  , DOI: ( /j.jvs )

3 Fig 2 Diagram with designation of geometric parameters on valve leaflets examined. 1, Half-circle; 2, valve height; 3, leaflet height; 4, sinus length; 5, edge length; 6, leaflet width (maximum leaflet height). Journal of Vascular Surgery  , DOI: ( /j.jvs )

4 Fig 3 Reflux rates (mean ± SD) in pressurized valves at 3 weeks after arteriovenous fistula placement. Journal of Vascular Surgery  , DOI: ( /j.jvs )

5 Fig 4 A, Valve half-circle length. B, Leaflet height. C, Leaflet width. D, Valve height. E, Valve edge length of control and pressurized valves. Solid bars, Control valves. For definition of geometric parameters see Fig 2. P < .05 vs control was considered significant. Journal of Vascular Surgery  , DOI: ( /j.jvs )

6 Fig 5 Number of granulocytes (A), monocytes and macrophages (B), and T-lymphocytes (C) on control and pressurized valves. Solid bars, Control valves. P < .05 vs control was considered significant. Journal of Vascular Surgery  , DOI: ( /j.jvs )

7 Fig 6 P-selectin (A) and ICAM-1 (B) levels in pressurized veins and valves as compared with control specimens. Solid bars, Control valves. P < .05 vs control was considered significant. Journal of Vascular Surgery  , DOI: ( /j.jvs )
