About this study

Multicentre, prospective, observational post-market registry. To monitor and collect data on the post-market clinical safety and performance of the Vascutek Rapidax II Vascular Access Graft.

Read the detailed description

At least 10 patients who have been implanted with a Rapidax II Vascular Access Graft for haemodialysis applications in patients with End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD), who are undergoing or are scheduled to begin haemodialysis and require implant of a prosthetic graft.

Primary End Points:Safety and Performance

  • Secondary patency at 6 months post implant (Performance).(access survival until abandonment). The interval from time of implant to abandonment or time of measurement of patency, including intervention to re-establish the functionality of the thrombosed access
  • Secondary patency at 12 months post implant (Performance.(access survival until abandonment). The interval from time of implant to abandonment or time of measurement of patency, including intervention to re-establish the functionality of the thrombosed access
  • Freedom from device related Serious Adverse Events at 6 and 12 months (Safety)

Secondary End Points: Safety and performance

  • Primary patency at 6 months post implant (Performance. (intervention free access survival). The interval from time of implant to any intervention designed to maintain or re-establish patency or to access thrombosis
  • Primary patency at 12 months post implant (Performance).(intervention free access survival). The interval from time of implant to any intervention designed to maintain or re-establish patency or to access thrombosis
  • Assisted primary patency at 6 months (Performance. (thrombosis free access survival). The interval from time of implant to intervention to maintain patency prior to the occurrence of thrombosis
  • Freedom from device related Serious Adverse Events at 6 and 12 months
