Treatment overview

AV graft placement is a vascular surgery procedure performed to create reliable, long-term access to the bloodstream for patients with end-stage kidney disease who require hemodialysis. A soft synthetic tube — most commonly made from expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) — is surgically placed under the skin, usually in the arm, to connect an artery directly to a vein. This creates a durable, high-flow conduit that can withstand repeated needle punctures during dialysis sessions, typically three times a week. An AV graft is often chosen when a patient's own veins are unsuitable for an AV fistula, or when dialysis needs to begin sooner than a fistula could mature. The procedure takes one to two hours and is performed under regional, local, or general anaesthesia; many patients are discharged the same day or the following day.
