Maintenance Hemodialysis With Modified Human Umbilical Vein Graft Angioaccess
This series includes 60 patients with end-stage renal disease in whom 63 looped forearm modified human umbilical vein graft arteriovenous fistulas were constructed for maintenance hemodialysis. After a 26-month follow-up, 46 of the 63 grafts (73.0%) were free of complications. Twenty-eight of the 33 complications (84.8%) were corrected with minor surgical procedures. These results demonstrate a significantly lower complication rate when compared with other currently available graft materials.
