Temporal evolution of hemodynamics in murine arteriovenous fistula: A micro-CT based CFD study
Fig 5
Lumen diameter profiles along the vascular segments at day 7 (D7) and day 21 (D21).
The x-axis represents the distance from the anastomosis, with negative values indicating upstream segments (proximal artery [PA] and distal artery [DA]) and positive values indicating downstream segments (arteriovenous fistula [AVF]). The average AVF diameter is measured within the first 2 mm of the fistula. Cross-sections F1-F4, spaced 0.5 mm apart, indicate locations analyzed for hemodynamics in results.
