An Outcomes Comparison of Native Arteriovenous Fistulae, Polytetrafluorethylene Grafts, and Cryopreserved Vein Allografts

Our findings lend further support to the use of cadaveric vein for hemodialysis access surgery. As demonstrated through this comparative study, CVGs are capable of providing favorable results with regard to patency, access longevity, and patient survival. These current outcomes indicate that cadaveric vein is a sustainable alternative to PTFE for hemodialysis access surgery and should be accordingly considered for difficult access patients.
