A member asked:
Can you still golf or play guitar with the arteriovenous graft/shunt in your arm?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Absolutely: Yes. The only limmitations for an arm with an av fistula are not to have blood pressures taken on the fistula arm and not to draw blood from the fistula arm. There are no limitations to physical activity.
