Baseline dimeter, peak diameter, time to peak, shear rate area under the curve (SRAUC) and mean blood flow area under the curve (AUC) before (pre) and at 7 days post-catheterization (post), in the catheterized (CATH) arm and the contralateral (CON) arm

	CATH arm		CON arm
	Pre	Post	Pre	Post
Baseline diameter (mm)	2.32 ± 0.28	2.62 ± 0.28*	2.26 ± 0.23	2.32 ± 0.25†
Peak diameter (mm)	2.54 ± 0.32	2.72 ± 0.31*	2.46 ± 0.26	2.49 ± 0.28†
Time to peak (s)	58 ± 28	66 ± 39	55 ± 25	56 ± 27
SRAUC (s−1 103)	32.9 ± 17.5	27.4 ± 17.8	27.2 ± 14.6	28.7 ± 17.4
Mean AUC flow	88.6 ± 53.4	94.3 ± 62.9	69.9 ± 46.5	76.6 ± 56.1

Results are presented as mean ± SD, n = 26. A mixed-linear model (arm × time) with Fisher’s least significant difference post hoc for pairwise comparisons was used

*Significantly different from pre- catheterization (P < 0.05)

^†Significantly different from CATH arm post-catheterization (P < 0.05)
