title: [Forearm and digital blood flow after arteriovenous anastomosis (author's transl)].
abstract: Forearm and digital blood flow were measured by venous occlusion plethysmography in 7 patients with terminal renal failure before and 8 days after surgically created arterio-venous end-to-end fistula similar to the method of Brescia and Cimino. The forearm blood flow rose significantly from 3.30 +/- 1.75 to 6.98 +/- 4.74 ml/min - 100 ml. Total forearm blood flow increased from 32.9 +/- 16.8 ml/min to 69.8 +/- 45.8 ml/min. Digital blood flow was not significantly altered. The relatively low fistula flow was due to the early postoperative measurement since it increased later.
