A new device (the Hemasite-incorporated graft), has been available to provide access for hemodialysis. Herein, we have described the technique to insert the device and reviewed our early experience. Sixteen Hemasite-incorporated grafts were inserted in 11 patients over a 16 month period. Cumulative functional patency at the end of 1 year was 70 percent. The major complication rate was 0.15 per dialysis month. Patient comfort was considerably increased compared with what was achieved with other grafts. The need for temporary blood access methods is also decreased. More patients may be able to receive hemodialysis at home. |
