Early Experience With a Novel Hybrid Vascular Graft for Hemodialysis Access Creation in Patients With Disadvantaged Anatomy

Conclusion: The Hybrid graft offers a safe, technically effective alternative for patients with disadvantaged anatomy requiring hemodialysis access and has comparable outcomes to standard PTFE grafts. Further clinical experience and long-term data are required for determining the proper utility of this device in chronic dialysis-dependent patients.
