a An asymptomatic AVF with a single inflow stenosis, which was diagnosed as a critical inflow stenosis because of PPL and API were both zero (the figure was created by Matt Chiung-Yu Chen). b An asymptomatic AVF with a tandem of two inflow stenoses including an anastomotic and a peri-anastomotic stenosis. A critical inflow stenosis was diagnosed because of PPL < 11.0 cm and API < 1.29 (the figure was created by Matt Chiung-Yu Chen)
