The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of heparin-bonded vascular grafts to offer improved outcomes compared with standard prosthetic grafts in access surgery. A systematic review and meta-analysis was performed and eight studies (seven observational studies and one randomized controlled trial) were included. The pooled 6-month and 1-year primary patency was not significantly different between heparin-bonded arteriovenous (AV) grafts and standard prosthetic AV grafts in seven studies reporting on 1,209 access procedures. The assisted primary patency and secondary patency at 1-year was not significantly different either. Heparin-bonded AV grafts offer no distinct advantage over standard prosthetic AV grafts and their preferential use in access surgery cannot be recommended based on the available evidence.
