Abstract
- We report a case of a 48-year-old woman with end-stage renal failure who had a Polytetrafluoroethylene graft for hemodialysis and who had developed complications of venous outflow stenosis and venous backflow. Although venous backflow is an harbinger of graft failure, it is not enough reason to abandon the graft immediately. The patient was able to utilize her graft for 6 further months.
