Complications on the feeding artery after an arterio-venous fistula closure in patients after kidney transplantation – a national cohort study
We observed a high cumulative incidence of arterial thrombosis (20%) and brachial artery aneurysms (10%), sometimes developing several years after AVF closure. These complications should be taken into account when contemplating closure of a well-developed AVF and an AVF-preserving approach with flow reduction surgery might be preferred in some cases.
