Figure 1
Venous parameters change with time. Top panels: Wall thickness (a), wall area (b), lumen area (c), and total (wall + lumen) (d) area at 3 scans. The distances between the scans were proportional to the time intervals between them. Bottom panels: The weekly rate of change between 2 scans for wall thickness (e), wall area (f), lumen area (g), and total (wall + lumen) area (h). All panels: The lines connect data points from the same patient. Scans 1, 2, and 3 were taken at 1 to 3 days, 6 weeks, and 6 months after fistula creation, respectively. ∗P < 0.05. N = 36.

Association between venous parameters. The association between wall and lumen areas at (a) scans 1, (b) 2, and (c) 3. The association between wall area changes and lumen area changes in the early (d) and later (e) periods. The association between rate of wall area change from scan 1 to scan 2 and scan 1 lumen area (f). The association between rate of wall area change from scan 2 to scan 3 and scan 2 lumen area (g). The P values and R2 values are found in the plot for each panel, where the line is a linear trend line. Scans 1, 2, and 3 were taken at 1 to 3 days, 6 weeks, and 6 months after fistula creation, respectively. N = 36.
