Abstract

Background: Immediate accessibility of a newly implanted dialysis graft is desirable to avoid temporary catheters. The most commonly used dialysis graft, expanded polytetrafluorethylene (ePTFE), does not allow early access. This report presents the first clinical data regarding the immediate puncturability of a newly introduced "self-sealing" polycarbonate urethane graft (PUG).
