| AVS1-a | CFR | P Value | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| PST | ST | AVS vs. PST | AVS vs. ST | PSTvs. ST | ||
| Number | 6 | 15 | ||||
| Body weight (kg) | 2.6 ± 0.1 | 2.78 ± 0.1 | ||||
| Blood flow (ml/min) | 26.7 ± 1.5 | 24.8 ± 1.2 | 14.9 ± 1.1 | NS | <0.05 | <0.05 |
| Shear rate (sec−1) | 566 (477–637) | 527 (316–640) | 39,561 (21,619–61,009) | NS | <0.05 | <0.05 |
Values are mean ± S.E.M. or ranges (in parentheses) for estimated shear rates.
↵1-a AVS, arteriovenous shunt; PST, prestenosis; ST, stenosis.
