Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study is a prospective, non-randomized, multi-center evaluation of the performance of the GORE® ACUSEAL Vascular Graft. The study will enroll patients with End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD), who are either currently receiving or expected to require hemodialysis through a prosthetic vascular graft within 30 days. Gore proposes to demonstrate that the 6 month cumulative patency of the GORE® ACUSEAL Vascular Graft is similar to that of other arteriovenous grafts (AVGs). \> \>\>

\>

\>\> A total of 138 Subjects will be enrolled. Once the study procedure has been successfully completed, cannulation may occur at any time at the Investigator's discretion. \>

\>\>

\>

\>\> Subjects will be selected from up to 20 Investigational Sites.
