Journal Article
Vascular Access Management After Kidney Transplantation Position Paper on Behalf of the Vascular Access Society and the European Kidney Transplant Association
2025
Overview
There is no consensus on whether to ligate or preserve uncomplicated vascular access (VA) after kidney transplantation (KT), as International Guidelines do not address this issue. Enhanced survival rates of kidney grafts may elevate the risk of cardiac morbidity and mortality due to prolonged exposure to the hemodynamic effects of arterio-venous fistulas (AVF). Although VA ligation reduces left ventricle (LV) mass, its impact on cardiovascular (CV) morbidity or mortality is unclear. High-flow VAs can complicate KT patients, and immunosuppressive medication may increase these complications. Despite preserving VA for future hemodialysis (HD) use, central catheters are used in nearly two-thirds of patients. Detecting transplant patients who can undergo AVF ligation and reconstruction when returning to HD allows for flexible decision-making with a multidisciplinary approach, personally tailored to patients at their discretion. Therefore, an algorithm involving Doppler ultrasound and cardiac evaluation is advisable.
