Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" xml:lang="en"> <title>Abstract</title> <p>Although arteriovenous fistulae are the preferred form of dialysis vascular access they continue to have significant problems with maturation failure. The Optiflow device is a sutureless anastomotic conduit which could potentially reduce surgical time and also standardize the surgical procedure. We report herein on the "First in Man" experience with the Optiflow device.</p> </abstract>
