BACKGROUND
• Native arteriovenous fistulas (AVF) are the firstoption for dialysis access creation.– However, not all patients have adequate veins for the
creation of autologous access.
• With the recent trend of an increasing hemodialysis population with diabetes and longer survival, the exhaustion of autologous sites is becoming more prevalent . – End-stage Renal Disease (ESRD) patients requiring
chronic hemodialysis are increasingly requiring alternatives for the challenging creation of long-term arteriovenous (AV) access sites.

THE PROBLEM• The poor long-term prognosis of prosthetic grafts
generally results from development of intimal hyperplasia and consequently stenosis at the graft-vein or graft-artery anastomosis.
• For instance, a few in vitro studies utilizing computational fluid dynamics (CFD) have described the complex hemodynamics of the AVG anastomosis (in dialysis access).– This complexity is the result of the connection of the
high pressure, high velocity arterial flow to a low pressure low velocity venous system. The effect of the shear forces are primarily a problem of the standard graft configuration.

Structural graft modifications
• The development of intimal hyperplasia is one of the culprits for bypass or graft failure.
• Structural modifications of the conduit that alter the flow hemodynamics at the distal anastomosis have been introduced.
– The concept hinges on creating laminar flow at the distal anastomosis, which in turn can influence and decrease the occurrence of intimal hyperplasia.

Flow and Shear Stress
Littele S, et al. http://www.goremedical.com/resources/dam/assets/AQ0560EN1.HVG.STUDY.FLYER.FNL.MR.pdfJackson ZS, et al. J Vasc Surg 2001;34(2):300-307.
• In the conventional end-to-side anastomosis, intimal hyperplasia occurs in part due to alterations in shear stress at the toe and heel of the AVG anastomosis.
![Page 6: The hybrid vascular e ptfe graft as an alternative for hemodialysis access](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032420/55a604581a28abe70b8b4631/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Flow and Shear Stress• The GORE® Hybrid
Vascular Graft altered the wall shear stress region at the toe and the heel of the graft anastomosis site, which corresponds to the development of intimal hyperplasia in the conventional end-to-side anastomosis.
Littele S, et al. http://www.goremedical.com/resources/dam/assets/AQ0560EN1.HVG.STUDY.FLYER.FNL.MR.pdfJackson ZS, et al. J Vasc Surg 2001;34(2):300-307.

• Due to the GORE® Hybrid Vascular Grafts occlusion of the venous inflow, flow remained laminar, where the conventional construct exhibited irregular flow patterns downstream from the entry site.– Irregular, oscillating flow patterns have also been identified as a precursor
to the development of intimal hyperplasia and graft occlusion.
• These observations suggest that the GORE® Hybrid Vascular Graft provides optimized flow characteristics as compared to a conventional end-to-side anastomosis thus potentially reducing the incidence of arteriovenous access graft stenosis due to intimal hyperplasia.

THE IDEA

HYBRID ePTFE HEPARIN BONDED GRAFT
![Page 11: The hybrid vascular e ptfe graft as an alternative for hemodialysis access](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032420/55a604581a28abe70b8b4631/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
THE SOLUTION?• The stent graft component of the hybrid graft has
been proposed to overcome some of the hemodynamic features that may contribute to the development of intimal hyperplasia at the venous anastomosis.
• This is because the laminar flow through the graft is in line with the host vessel.– Unlike the conventional end-to-side anastomosis, this
device deploys as a sutureless outflow anastomosis with a nitinol reinforced stent section which presumably shields the vessel lumen area most susceptible to injury and failure.
![Page 12: The hybrid vascular e ptfe graft as an alternative for hemodialysis access](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032420/55a604581a28abe70b8b4631/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
PREVIOUS EXPERIENCES
• Experimental devices capable to create a suturelessarterial anastomosis have demonstrated safety and efficacy in porcine models.
• Some have described the use of modified devices utilizing a standard Viabahn stent graft (WL Gore, Flagstaff, AZ) and an ePTFE graft for bypass in peripheral arterial disease with encouraging initial technical and clinical outcomes.
• The initial experience with “non-hybrid” heparin bonded PTFE grafts for dialysis access patients has resulted in 15 to 20% benefit improved graft patency at 12 months.

CONCLUSION
• New graft technologies can be successfully used to handle clinical and anatomic challenges with complex dialysis patients.
• The Hybrid graft is a safe and efficacious alternative for access creation.
– However, further studies will determine whether this graft provides long term results equivalent or superior to those achieved with other prostheses.

tissues and create a small pocket. Blunt dissection.
– Open exposure: Micro-puncture kit with etched needle and a stiff wire

Steps
– Venogram
• Hybrid graft venous insertion and deployment:
– Place 14 Fr. Sheath over a wire
– Introduce/deploy Hybrid graft (over the wire)
![Page 47: The hybrid vascular e ptfe graft as an alternative for hemodialysis access](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032420/55a604581a28abe70b8b4631/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Steps
– Low volume venogram and PTA stent graft segment, especially at venotomy site.
• Arterial segment:
– Tunnel the graft.
– Perform the arterial anastomosis.
![Page 48: The hybrid vascular e ptfe graft as an alternative for hemodialysis access](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032420/55a604581a28abe70b8b4631/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Steps
• Check function and patency:
– If a thrill is not evident, consider fistulogramand PTA graft/stent confluence to expand the graft (that is a transition site with ↓ radial support).
