Abstract
Arteriovenous fistula is recommended, but arteriovenous graft is acceptable when a fistula is not possible. Acuseal is an early cannulation graft with a trilayer structure. Although primary patency rates of Acuseal appear to be similar to those of other standard grafts, few studies have investigated long-term results and complications. In our series, delamination of the wall structure occurred in 5.1% (6/115) by 21 months after Acuseal implantation. The causes could be divided into cannulation-related and cannulation-unrelated. Here, we describe the six cases in which delamination of the wall structure occurred in the medium term after Acuseal implantation.
