Revision using distal inflow for treatment of heart failure secondary to arteriovenous fistula for hemodialysis.
In patients on hemodialysis, cardiovascular disease can be precipitated or worsened by the presence of a high flow arteriovenous fistula. Fistula closure and banding are the traditional treatment methods of dialysis associated high output cardiac failure. We present a case of fistula-related high output cardiac failure treated by revision using distal inflow (RUDI).
