A Reverse Approach to Vessel Surgery May Boost Clinical Outcomes in Dialysis (2 of 4)

Caption

Shear stress on vessels (colored regions) was lower in key spots in the new RADAR configuration (bottom row) than in the conventional vein-to-artery configuration (top row) in male rats. This material relates to a paper that appeared in the Aug. 26, 2020, issue of Science Translational Medicine, published by AAAS. The paper, by H. Bai at Yale School of Medicine in New Haven, CT and colleagues was titled, "Artery to vein configuration of arteriovenous fistula improves hemodynamics to increase maturation and patency."
