Should We Ligate Arteriovenous Fistulas in Asymptomatic Patients After Kidney Transplantation?

The article described a series of successful autogenous arteriovenous fistula (AVF) creations for hemodialysis. It mentions Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is primarily an adaptive remodeling process as a response to increased cardiac workload aiming to minimize ventricular wall stress and is almost universal in new dialysis patients; and also mention the hemodynamic effects after AVF creation include decreased peripheral resistance and thus increased cardiac output.
