Abstract

Polytetrafluoroethylene grafts have become the alternative to arteriovenous fistulas for hemodialysis access. The most frequent complication of prosthetic grafts is thrombotic occlusion, caused especially by hypotension after hemodialysis and excessive compression for hemostasis. We describe a technique using the ringed polytetrafluoroethylene graft for constructing an upper arm curved graft to overcome external compression. It yields favorable results.
