No consensus on physicians' preferences on vascular access management after kidney transplantation: Results of a multi-national survey.

CONCLUSION: Although respondents recognize a reduced left ventricular ejection fraction and a high flow as the risk factors, the high disagreement on management preferences suggests that evidence is inconclusive to recommend arteriovenous fistula ligation or maintenance after kidney transplantation. More research is needed to determine optimal arteriovenous fistula management after successful kidney transplantation. PMID: 29843559 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
