Safety Study of the Vascular Wrap Paclitaxel-Eluting Mesh for Hemodialysis Vascular Access

A Long Term Safety Study of the Vascular Wrap(TM) Paclitaxel-Eluting Mesh After Surgical Implantation With the Lifespan® Graft in the Upper Extremity for Hemodialysis Vascular Access

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the long term use of the experimental Vascular Wrap(TM) Paclitaxel-Eluting Mesh is safe in the treatment of subjects needing hemodialysis access (via an expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) graft).

The primary objective of this study is to determine long term safety of the Lifespan® ePTFE Vascular Graft and Vascular Wrap(TM) Paclitaxel-Eluting Mesh in comparison to the Lifespan® graft alone.
