Kidney allograft dysfunction due to ipsilateral thigh arteriovenous graft.

Kidney allograft dysfunction due to ipsilateral thigh arteriovenous graft. J Vasc Access. 2019 Sep 23;:1129729819877320 Authors: Agrawal N, Garg N, Adapa S, Cardarelli F Abstract Arteriovenous graft in the thigh is used not infrequently for hemodialysis. Outcomes with this lower extremity dialysis access are generally comparable to upper extremity access and superior to long-term catheter use. However, it could have significant implications in a patient getting a kidney transplant. Here we describe a case of thigh arteriovenous graft causing kidney allograft dysfunction in a new transplant recipient, and this resolved with graft ligation.
