Introduction: As the demographics of the population changes, increasing challenges are being faced in providing reliable access for dialysis. This article reports on the outcomes from the largest series to date using the early cannulation graft Flixene in a single centre.
Methods: Between May 2012 and March 2018, 141 Flixene grafts were placed for dialysis access. The outcomes of the arteriovenous grafts were reviewed retrospectively from electronically held records and imaging.
Results: In 75 patients, placement of Flixene graft was performed on an emergency basis and in 66 patients on a planned elective list. The 12-month primary, assisted primary and secondary patency rates were 48.7%, 56.6% and 83.6%, respectively. Eight (5.7%) patients developed infections of the graft during the follow-up period.
Conclusion: In our experience, we have found the use of the early cannulation graft Flixene to be safe with a low complication rate and favourable patency rates. We believe these early cannulation grafts provide a useful addition for vascular access surgeons preventing the use of tunnelled lines and providing more flexibility in the timing of placing a graft for dialysis.
