| Core Tip |
This study examines long-term outcomes following arteriovenous fistula (AVF) ligation in kidney transplant recipients, a topic with limited prior evidence. In this large, single-centre cohort with extended follow-up, post-transplant AVF ligation was independently associated with improved death-censored allograft survival without differences in patient mortality. Furthermore, recipients who were “AVF-free” from transplantation, having previously dialysed via central venous catheter, demonstrated similarly superior allograft survival compared to those with pre-transplant AVFs. These findings suggest that the presence of AVFs may influence graft longevity, and post-transplant ligation may confer graft survival benefits in addition to previously reported cardiovascular advantages. |
