Role of Double Cuffed PTFE Arteriovenous Grafts in Enhancing Long-term Patency in Hemodialysis Patients (Extended Poly Tetra Fluoro Ethylene)
- Conditions
- End Stage Renal Disease
- Interventions
- Procedure: ePTFE graft without any cuffProcedure: Double vein cuffed ePTFE graft both at the inflow and outflow endsProcedure: single vein cuffed eTFE graft both at the inflow and outflow ends
- Registration Number
- NCT03405233
- Lead Sponsor
- Mansoura University
- Brief Summary
this randomized controlled trial will compare the double vein cuffed synthetic arteriovenous graft to the single vein cuffed synthetic and the non cuffed synthetic as regard to long-term patency of each modality
- Detailed Description
End-stage renal disease (ESRD) arises from many heterogeneous disease pathways that alter the function and structure of the kidney irreversibly, over months or years.End-stage renal disease (ESRD) arises from many heterogeneous disease pathways that alter the function and structure of the kidney irreversibly, over months or years. Haemodialysis (HD) is a lifeline therapy for patients with ESRD. A proportion of hemodialysis patients exhaust all options for permanent vascular access (fistula or graft) in both upper extremities.ePTFE grafts are easily subjected to graft outflow tract intimal hyperplasia, which may lead to graft outlet stenosis and graft thrombosis after a certain period of usage. The commonest cause of PTFE graft failure is intimal hyperplasia (IH) at the venous anastomoses. our study aims to evaluate the influence of double cuffed ePTFE grafts with autologous vein cuffs on the long-term patency of dialysis access, and compare the clinical patency and the complications occurring with the usage of the double cuffed graft to that with standard non cuffed grafts in chronic renal hemodialysis therapy.
this randomized controlled trial will compare the double vein cuffed synthetic arteriovenous graft to the single vein cuffed synthetic and the non cuffed synthetic as regard to long term patency of each modality

Group Intervention Description Group C ePTFE graft without any cuff PTFE graft without vein cuff will be used Group A Double vein cuffed ePTFE graft both at the inflow and outflow ends Double vein cuff PTFE graft both at the inflow and outflow ends Group B single vein cuffed eTFE graft both at the inflow and outflow ends Single vein cuffed PTFE graft at the outflow end
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method primary patency 2 years for each patient after the operation comparing primary patency between the double cuffed, single cuffed and non cuffed ePTFE graft primary patency means how long will the graft be patent after the first intervention
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method secondary patency 2 years after restoration of patency comparing secondary patency between the double cuffed, single cuffed and non cuffed ePTFE graft secondary patency means how long will the graft be patent after thormobectomy to a thrombosed graft
