More Information
Summary:Cephalic arch stenosis (CAS) is a unique type of vascular access stenosis. For example, the etiology of CAS is under investigation and the prevalence of CAS can be lower in diabetic patients. Three cases of CAS were identified during our vascular access stenosis surveillance program by blood flow rate measurements using the Delta-H method. We evaluated the prevalence, etiology, relationship with diabetes and functional profile of CAS. To date, this is the first functional report published about this type of stenosis.
