Abstract

Background: The effectiveness of multiple arterial grafting (MAG) for hemodialysis (HD) patients is unclear. Methods and Results: We retrospectively analyzed 149 HD patients who underwent either MAG (n=97) or single arterial grafting (SAG) (n=52). After adjusting for preoperative characteristics using inverse probability of treatment weighting, the adjusted estimated 5-year rates of freedom from all-cause death and cardiac death in the MAG vs. SAG groups were 54.8% vs. 60.4% (P=0.779) and 83.5% vs. 87.4% (P=0.869), respectively. Conclusions: MAG did not improve the midterm outcomes for HD patients compared to SAG.
