Improved heart failure after closure of arteriovenous fistula

Abstract

Abstract The population of patients with end‐stage renal disease is rapidly growing and hemodialysis remains the most common treatment option. We present a case of a young patient with arteriovenous fistula (AVF)‐related heart failure, and a review of the main hemodynamic changes after AVF formation and ligation procedures.
