abstract
Significantly different PSVs in the stenotic artery, the iliac artery, and the PSV ratio between EE and ES arterial anastomoses should be considered in the interpretation of CDUS when screening for severe TRAS. Different criteria of CDUS need to be established depending on the type of arterial anastomosis in order to improve the accuracy in diagnosing severe TRAS.
