Arteriovenous Fistula Toxicity [PDF]
Blood Purification, 2011 The arteriovenous fistula (AVF) has been a mainstay of hemodialysis treatments and the preferred access route since its inception in the 1960s, due to its longevity and resistance to infection. However, the AVF is not benign. There is significant primary failure, as well as cardiac, vascular, and other, less well recognized, complications.

Postnephrectomy arteriovenous fistula [PDF]
Sao Paulo Medical Journal, 1997 The development of the postnephrectomy arteriovenous fistula (PNAVF) between the renal vessels stumps is rare. Here we present a case report of PNAVF, and review the diagnosis, treatment and prevention.The most common clinical features include a loud murmur over the previous nephrectomy scar, and heart failure resistant to common medical treatment.
