Abstract
The minimal decrease in cardiac output with occlusion of the fistula and evidence suggested that the arteriovenous fistula was not contributing to the patient’s heart failure. Intriguingly, she did have multiple areas of dilation with tortuosity generating a natural flow reduction. The decision was made to proceed with the mitral valve replacement but leave the AVF in place.
