  • Title: Dacron arterio-venous interposition graft: an access to circulation in patients on chronic hemodialysis.
    Author: Jacob ET, Shapira Z, Boner G.
    Journal: Angiology; 1977 Jan; 28(1):31-5. PubMed ID: 141229.
    Abstract:
    In a small percentage of cases, conventional a-v fistulae of the Brescia-Cimino type fail to provide long-term access facilities for chronic hemodialysis. When homologous venous interposition grafts are not available, the surgeon is forced to seek foreign interposition material. In three instances woven dacron arterio-venous interposition grafts were successfully constructed in the thigh, and uneventful hemodialysis was accomplished in all 3 patients.
