Nicoladoni sign

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In medicine, the Nicoladoni sign, also Branham sign and Nicoladoni-Israel-Branham sign, is if pressure is applied to an artery proximal to an arteriovenous fistula, swelling reduces in size, bruit and thrill disappears, and pulse rate and heart rate become normal.[1][2][3]

It is named after Carl Nicoladoni.[citation needed]
