Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to compare the diagnostic value of color Doppler ultrasonography (CDUS) and multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) angiography against that of digital subtraction angiography (DSA) or surgery in the evaluation of failing hemodialysis arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs).
