Popis: Spiral computed tomographic angiography (CTA), a new noninvasive imaging technique, was used to study 10 arteriovenous fistulas (AVF) in 9 hemodialysis patients. Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) was also performed as a gold standard for comparison. AVF stenosis was graded by a four-point scale: grade 0, well patency of supplying artery, anastomosis and drainage vein; grade 1
