Good long-term patency: 10-year follow-up using the mid-thigh adductor loop arteriovenous graft.

CONCLUSION: Autogenous venous access remains the perceived gold standard for patients requiring dialysis for end stage renal failure, despite some published data reporting poor outcomes. We have shown that adductor loop arteriovenous grafts can be a reliable, safe and long-term alternative in those whom fistula formation is not possible and may have a role earlier in the patient journey than previously thought, as a result of good patency and lower complications.
