Pulmonary hypertension (PH) occurs in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients on long-term haemodialysis (HD) using an arterio-venous (A-V) access and can be attenuated by either kidney transplantation per se or surgical fistula ligation/revision. We report an exceptional case with severe PH after kidney transplantation due to ESRD and prior chronic intermittent HD via a patent A-V fistula. Gold-standard right heart catheterization findings have-for the first time-proven that following surgical shunt ligation of the A-V fistula, haemodynamics normalized completely in this patient.
肺动脉高压(PH)发生于接受长期血液透析(HD)并使用动静脉(A-V)通路的终末期肾病(ESRD)患者中,通过肾移植本身或手术结扎/修复瘘管可使其减轻。我们报告了一例特殊病例,该患者因ESRD和既往通过开放的A-V瘘进行慢性间歇性HD,在肾移植后出现严重PH。金标准右心导管检查结果首次证实,在对该患者的A-V瘘进行手术分流结扎后,其血流动力学完全恢复正常。
