Comparison of Pulsatile Pressure Flow through a ‎Specific Patient's Rigid and Deformable ‎Arteriovenous Fistula: In Vitro Study

Arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is the most widely used vascular access by patients undergoing hemodialysis, however, even though the most widely used access to AVF has a high failure rate, and can be affected by problems during its use, among the most common highlights intimal hyperplasia, thrombosis a...

The present work seeks to analyze the variation of pressure and flow in rigid and flexible AVF models manufactured from data from an actual patient undergoing treatment.
