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.

Keywords: arteriovenous fistula; dialysis; heart failure.
