Does AVF ligation reverse acute congestive heart failure and renal failure triggered by femorofemoral AVF angioplasty in a kidney transplant recipient?
High-output arteriovenous fistulas after kidney transplantation can precipitate acute congestive heart failure and renal failure, which may be rapidly reversed by fistula ligation.
Bertrand et al. (2013) conducted a case report in Acute congestive heart failure and renal failure in a kidney transplant recipient (n=1). Arteriovenous fistula (AVF) ligation was evaluated on Reversal of clinical symptoms and normalization of cardiac and renal functions. Prompt arteriovenous fistula ligation rapidly reversed clinical symptoms and normalized cardiac and renal functions in a kidney transplant recipient with acute heart and renal failure.
