RUDI resolves a case of fistula-related high output cardiac failure in a hemodialysis patient.
Revision using distal inflow (RUDI) is presented as a treatment for fistula-related high output cardiac failure in a hemodialysis patient.
Potential option for fistula-related high-output HF; single case report leaves open need for prospective validation.
In patients on hemodialysis, cardiovascular disease can be precipitated or worsened by the presence of a high flow arteriovenous fistula. Fistula closure and banding are the traditional treatment methods of dialysis associated high output cardiac failure. We present a case of fistula-related high output cardiac failure treated by revision using distal inflow (RUDI).
