May warrant consideration of fistula division in dialysis patients with high-output HF; hypothesis-generating and requires validation in larger studies.
Khreiss et al. (2009) conducted a case report in High-output cardiac failure secondary to a large arteriovenous fistula (n=1). Surgical division of the fistula was evaluated. Surgical division of the fistula was used to manage high-output cardiac failure secondary to a large arteriovenous fistula in a 35-year-old female.
