Central venous stenosis (CVS) is a common overlooked complication of VA as its diagnosis is challenging. Moreover, its effect on the flow volume (FV) and the peripheral resistive index (RI) was not well discussed before. Despite the availability of doppler ultrasound (DUS) in most centers, direct visualization of central veins using DUS is quite difficult. Aim: To evaluate the effects of CVS on FV and RI of the feeding artery of VA by DUS in Hpatients who are indicated for interventional therapy. 

Retrospective cohort study, data of 485 percutaneous transluminal angiography procedures (PTA), performed in 95 patients during the period from January 2014 to September 2022, were collected. DUS measurements of FV and RI before and after PTA in the patients with isolated CVS were compared to those with mixed CVS and peripheral stenosis (MVS). 

FV and RI were significantly affected in the patients with mixed stenosis than patients with isolated CVS. After PTA, both FV and RI were significantly improved. The improvement rate of FV and RI after PTA were significantly higher in patients with mixed stenosis than patients with isolated CVS.


CVS can affect FV and RI of the VA feeding artery, however no cut-off value could be identified. FV and RI are less improved in patients with CVS compared to patients with MVS. Clinical assessment as well as serial measurement of FV and RI could be used to detect the improvement of CVS after successful PTA and for follow up surveillance as well.
