A single center experience in the use of polyurethaneurea arteriovenous grafts

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) grafts often require temporary catheters, which increase costs as well as risk of infection, bleeding, and poor blood flow. Polyurethaneurea (PUU) grafts can be cannulated within 24 hours of placement, avoiding the need for temporary catheters. Hemodialysis patients wh...

Zusammenfassung:Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) grafts often require temporary catheters, which increase costs as well as risk of infection, bleeding, and poor blood flow. Polyurethaneurea (PUU) grafts can be cannulated within 24 hours of placement, avoiding the need for temporary catheters. Hemodialysis patients who were not candidates for arteriovenous fistula (AVF) were eligible for the study. Those requiring urgent (
