Background Hemodialysis access to the circulation is best provided by native and synthetic arteriovenous fistulae (AVF and AVG). Thromboses caused by venous outflow stenoses pre vent the long-term use of AV access. This pilot study was performed to evaluate the ability of ultrasound dilution-derived access blood flows to detect AV access stenosis and to evaluate the response to treatment.Methods. This pilot study was a single-center, prospective observational intervention trial. The monitoring technique used was ultrasound dilution access blood flow measurements performed monthly and after any intervention. Screening criteria for interventions were decrements in access flow of 20% when the flow value fell under 1000 mL/min or absolute flow of
