Quantitative Flow Estimations of Arteriovenous Fistulas with Doppler and Dye-Dilution Techniques

Abstract
The flow in operatively created arteriovenous fistulas [for hemodialysis, administration of cytostatics and parenteral nutrition] of 14 patients was calculated with Doppler and dye-dilution techniques. Good correlation was found between the 2 methods. Differences in the results and future examination techniques are discussed.
