Abstract

CCD is an helpful imaging technique during biopsy of transplanted kidney, since it has reduced the incidence rate of complications associated to this procedure. Among possible complications one of the most frequent is the arteriovenous fistula. We report our experience with CCD in diagnosis and monitoring of this complication and we underline its role in case of conservative management.
