Investigation on the differences of hemodynamics in normal common carotid, subclavian, and common femoral arteries using the vector flow technique

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To investigate the feasibility of the vector flow imaging (V Flow) technique to measure peripheral arterial hemodynamic parameters, including wall shear stress (WSS) and turbulence index (Tur) in healthy adults, and compare the results in different arteries.

Materials and methods

Fifty-two healthy adult volunteers were recruited in this study. The maximum and mean values of WSS, and the Tur values at early-systole, mid-systole, late-systole, and early diastole for total 156 normal peripheral arteries [common carotid arteries (CCA), subclavian arteries (SCA), and common femoral arteries (CFA)] were assessed using the V Flow technique.

Results

The mean WSS values for CCA, SCA, and CFA were (1.66 ± 0.68) Pa, (0.62 ± 0.30) Pa, and (0.56 ± 0.27) Pa, respect
