Causes of graft bruits other than of renal arterial stenosis.
Hypertension and bruit over the graft are commonly associated to renal arterial stenosis in transplant patients. However, these findings can have other origins, too. In the present work we report on two patients in whom remote arteriovenous fistulas were the cause of a spurious bruit heard over the kidney allograft.
