AVF flow reduction after PRAL induces immediate regression of CHF symptoms, early improvement of TAPSE and late improvement of PAPS, suggesting a prevalent right sections involvement in CHF. Preoperative TAPSE modification after AVF anastomosis compression could represent a useful evaluation tool to determine which patients would benefit of PRAL.
