Purpose Preferred hemodialysis (HD) access is an autologous fistula. Vascular grafts are used in patients with vessels unsuitable to accomplish an arteriovenous fistula (AVF). It is recommended that most current grafts mature in situ for 2–3 weeks

Background In 1997 the National Kidney Foundation put forth guidelines for hemoaccess through its Dialysis Outcomes Quality Initiative (DOQI). Some centers have been able to meet these standards; most have not. Methods A retrospective review was made

Background: Improving patency of hemodialysis grafts is challenging. Vascular stapling creates nonpenetrating anastomoses, possibly decreasing intimal hyperplasia. We investigated patency and flow characteristics of stapled hemodialysis grafts. Metho

The majority of patients in the United States begin hemodialysis with a catheter. Many have immature or inadequate fistulae. At 90 days 77% of these patients are still using a catheter or a graft. The morbidity and mortality from prolonged catheter u

BACKGROUND: Two major types of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) graft material have been available for the past 20 years. Previous studies have suggested that nonreinforced PTFE performs better as a hemodialysis conduit than reinforced PTFE. We have ha

Graft thrombosis is the most frequent complication of polytetrafluoroethylene grafts for hemodialysis. Many of these patients arrive at the dialysis unit with fluid and metabolic abnormalities that require prompt dialysis. Rapid declotting of the gra
