The aim of this retrospective cross\u2010sectional study was to evaluate the PMA prevalence in haemodialysis patients who had computed tomographic fistulograms (CTFs), and if present, their calibres and origins.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>All consecutive adult patients referred for an upper limb CTFs for assessment of arteriovenous fistula (AVF) dysfunction from 2006 to 2021 were included. Patients whose CTF did not include the forearm were excluded. PMA was identified as an artery running alongside the median nerve between flexor digitorum superficialis and flexor digitorum profundus. Patient demographics, presence of PMA including size and origin were recorded.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A PMA was found in 91\/170 (53.5%) CTFs (7:3 male\u2010to\u2010female ratio, mean age 71\u2010years). When stratified by age, prevalence increased with decreasing age; 51% in &gt;70\u2010year\u2010olds, 54% in 50\u201370\u2010year\u2010olds and 67% in &lt;50\u2010year\u2010olds. The average PMA diameter was 2.2\u2009mm proximally and 1.8\u2009mm distally. No stenosis was observed in the PMAs.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The PMA prevalence appears to increase with decreasing age and is a frequently encountered anatomical variant. Radiologists assessing forearm vasculature need to be aware of this anatomical variant and potentially include it in their future reports. Further research into the PMA may make its potential use as arterial conduits for AVF, potential donor grafts for coronary artery bypass surgery or additional vascular access options possible. Whether the reducing prevalence with age reflects an overall increasing prevalence is yet to be determined.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/1754-9485.13544","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,7]],"date-time":"2023-06-07T03:44:34Z","timestamp":1686109474000},"page":"612-618","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Persistent median artery on computed tomographic arteriovenous fistulograms in patients on haemodialysis"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"67","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7280-4719","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Qiao Xin","family":"Tee","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Monash Imaging Monash Health  Clayton Victoria Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Stephen","family":"Stuckey","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cancer Imaging Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre  Melbourne Victoria Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kenneth K","family":"Lau","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Monash Imaging Monash Health  Clayton Victoria Australia"},{"name":"School of Clinical Sciences, Faculty of Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences Monash University  Melbourne Victoria Australia"},{"name":"Sir Peter MacCallum Department of Oncology, Faculty of Medicine University of Melbourne  Clayton Victoria Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1469-7580.1999.19510057.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/ca.21127"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_4_1","first-page":"1454","article-title":"Prevalence of the persistant median artery","volume":"6","author":"Singla RK","year":"2012","journal-title":"J Clin Diagn Res"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/joa.13224"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ejrnm.2016.09.012"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/jum.14576"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/2054358116669126"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.avsg.2018.12.057"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jvs.2014.08.112"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1129729819900114"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5761\/atcs.ra.16-00178"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jacbts.2020.11.015"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.21037\/amj-2020-abg-08"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.tria.2021.100113"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_16_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jhsa.2011.01.020"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_17_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1308\/rcsann.2017.0088"}],"container-title":["Journal of Medical Imaging and Radiation Oncology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1111\/1754-9485.13544","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/full-xml\/10.1111\/1754-9485.13544","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1111\/1754-9485.13544","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,11,3]],"date-time":"2026-11-03T07:44:24Z","timestamp":1793691864000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1111\/1754-9485.13544"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,5]]},"references-count":16,"journal-issue":{"issue":"6","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2023,9]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1111\/1754-9485.13544"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1111\/1754-9485.13544","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["1754-9477","1754-9485"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1754-9477","type":"print"},{"value":"1754-9485","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,5]]},"assertion":[{"value":"2022-07-01","order":0,"name":"received","label":"Received","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2023-05-17","order":2,"name":"accepted","label":"Accepted","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2023-06-05","order":3,"name":"published","label":"Published","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}}]}}
