Summary

The investigators propose a randomized study to compare bovine carotid artery (BCA) biologic grafts and expanded polytetrafluoroethylene grafts (ePTFE) for permanent hemodialysis access.

Conditions

Interventions

DEVICE

Expanded polytetrafluoroethylene Graft

Group will receive any standard ePTFE graft (control) based on the surgeons' discretion. The graft will be placed either in the arm (brachial artery to axillary vein) or forearm (brachial artery to cephalic or suitably sized vein) depending on which location works best in your particular case.
