What is an A-V graft? To receive hemodialysis, you need a blood access that can be used repeatedly with good blood flow. Your surgeon creates this blood access by placing an A-V graft. An A-V graft is an artificial blood vessel that goes between one of your arteries and one of your veins (see;

The three basic kinds of vascular access for hemodialysis are an arteriovenous (AV) fistula, an AV graft, and a venous catheter. A fistula is an opening or connection between any two parts of the body that are usually separate—for example, a hole in the tissue that normally separates the bladder from the bowel.

Assessing treatment efficacies for preventing haemodialysis arteriovenous (AV) graft stenosis requires a reproducible method for quantifying intimal hyperplasia. We identified sources of variability in three histological methods for assessing hyperplasia in a porcine AV graft model.

PURPOSE: Arterio-venous (AV) graft dysfunction causes significant morbidity in hemodialysis patients. It is characterized by neointimal hyperplasia (NIH), maximal at the venous anastomotic site.

A graft (also called an arteriovenous graft or A-V graft), which is made by joining an artery and vein in your arm with a plastic tube. The plastic tube is placed in a U-shaped loop under your skin, joining the radial artery to a vein near the elbow.

the Arterio Venous (AV) graft ... The AV graft is similar to a fistula, in that it is also an under the skin connection of an artery and vein, except that with a graft, a man-made tubing connects the artery and vein. The soft, plastic-like tube is about one-half inch in diameter and is made from a type of Teflon® or Gore...
