Background  Two-dimensional digital subtraction angiography (DSA) is the gold standard for angiographic evaluation of dysfunctional haemodialysis access. We aim to investigate the utility of parametric colour coded DSA in providing hemodynamic analysis during haemodialysis access interventions.    Methods  We retrospectively studied 20 patients who underwent access intervention and applied parametric colour-coding on selected DSA acquisitions before and after percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA). The difference in time to peak (dTTP) contrast enhancement and time attenuation curve (TAC) of pre- and post-stenotic regions of interest (ROIs) were obtained and compared after treatment.    Results  Improvements were seen in mean percent of stenosis after PTA ( p  < 0.0001) for all cases. Median dTTP improved from 0.52 (IQR 0.26, 0.8) to 0.25 (IQR 0, 0.26) seconds ( p  = 0.001). Median 50% contrast washout time improved from 0.77 (IQR 0.39, 1.17) to 0.42 (IQR 0.23, 0.59) seconds ( p  = 0.031). Significant correlation was seen for dTTP vs. percent of stenosis ( r  = 0.723,  p  = 0.043) pre-PTA and for change in dTTP vs. percent change in stenosis post-PTA ( r  = 0.786,  p  = 0.021) for inflow lesions. Such correlation was however not seen in outflow lesions.    Conclusions  Adjunctive use of parametric colour-coded DSA may provide potentially useful hemodynamic information during vascular access interventions. Larger prospective studies are needed to validate our findings.
