About

The aim of this study is to provide an overview of the possible applications of DUS during the maturation and postoperative follow-up of vascular access, with particular emphasis to establish a relationship between doppler Ultrasound parameters including:

1. Flow volume.
2. Outflow vein diameter.
3. Outflow vein depth.
4. Resistive index.
