The purpose of this study was to compare in a randomized, prospective, and controlled study, the performance of a multilayered, self-sealing polyurethane vascular access graft (PVAG) and expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) vascular access grafts in hemodialysis applications. Performance measures included graft survival, complications, time to early cannulation, and hemostasis times after cannulation.
