Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (6)
Primary Graft Patency Rate
Primary graft patency refers to the successful use of a vascular access for hemodialysis without any surgical or endovascular intervention.
12 months
Primary-Assisted Graft Patency Rate
Primary-assisted graft patency is defined as a patent access with evidence of malfunction that requires an open surgical or endovascular intervention.
12 months
Secondary Graft Patency Rate
Secondary graft patency is defined as a functional access following intervention for thrombosis or after any interposition grafting for any reason including stenosis, aneurysm or pseudoaneurysm.
12 months
Primary Graft Patency Rate
Primary graft patency refers to the successful use of a vascular access for hemodialysis without any surgical or endovascular intervention.
24 months after graft placement
Primary-Assisted Graft Patency Rate
Primary-assisted graft patency is defined as a patent access with evidence of malfunction that requires an open surgical or endovascular intervention.
24 months after graft placement
Secondary Graft Patency Rate
Secondary graft patency is defined as a functional access following intervention for thrombosis or after any interposition grafting for any reason including stenosis, aneurysm or pseudoaneurysm.
24 months after graft placement
Secondary Outcomes (4)
