CRUZ ABASCAL, Rafael Enrique. Vascular access closure in renal transplant recipients: a new knowledge contribution. Medicentro Electrónica [online]. 2022, vol.26, n.1, pp. 180-185.  Epub 01-Ene-2022. ISSN 1029-3043.

Permanence of arteriovenous fistula exposes patients to potentially serious cardiovascular complications, which are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in renal transplant recipients, which, added to pre-existing cardiovascular dysfunction, determines functional and structural changes of the heart, with implications for graft and patient survival. This study has demonstrated the extent to which vascular access influences the heart by measuring clinical, laboratory, electrocardiographic, echocardiographic and vascular Doppler variables. We have shown how fistula closure contributes to the regression of the clinical manifestations previously presented, as well as to the control of systolic and diastolic blood pressure and heart rate.

Palabras clave : arteriovenous fistula; signs and symptoms; kidney transplantation.
