Table 1. Characteristics Human Models of Vascular Remodeling.
Predilation diameter | Postdilation diameter | Percent remodeled | Flow after 1 month of remodeling | Pressure | Importance of EF in remodeling | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Collateral vessels | 30-50 μm | 600-1000 | 2000% | ??? | < arterial | ++++ |
Vein graft | >3.0 mm | 4.5-5.0 mm | 20-30% | Medium (100-200 cc/min) | Arterial | +/- |
AVF | > 3.0 mm | 5-7 mm | 100% | High (600 cc/min) | Low (tapers quickly) | +++ |
