Dialysis Graft

Dialysis Graft is defined as patients with kidney disease who require dialysis need vascular access. For dialysis to work, blood has to leave the body, move through a dialysis machine (artificial kidney) and then go back into the body. This is possible with vascular access - a vascular surgeon uses a synthetic (manmade) tube, or graft, to connect an artery to a vein. The graft is placed under the skin and becomes an artificial vein that can be used repeatedly for needle placement and blood access during hemodialysis.
