Does anyone know of procedures done to
remove or cover up unsightly fistulas
which are no longer working after
renal transplant?

TIA

I have been told I can get my (still working) AV fistula reversed.  I assume
that they would just separate the Artery and Vein surgically.  I have not
bothered with it because I didn't want to go through another operation and
risk infection.
