Expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is a new material now being used to create subcutaneous arteriovenous anastomoses for vascular access in hemodialysis. The authors have been impressed with the versatility of grafts made from this material and, where failure occurs, the ease with which surgical revision can be carried out. Two cases are described to illustrate the adaptability of this material to reconstruction. The authors' initial impression based on 22 months' experience is that PTFE grafts have appreciably modified the management with respect to vascular access, of many patients on long-term hemodialysis.
膨体聚四氟乙烯（PTFE）是一种新型材料，目前正用于创建皮下动静脉吻合术，以建立血液透析的血管通路。这种材料制成的移植物的多功能性以及在出现故障时易于进行手术修复给作者留下了深刻印象。本文描述了两个病例以说明这种材料在重建中的适应性。基于22个月的经验，作者的初步印象是，PTFE移植物已显著改变了许多长期血液透析患者血管通路的管理方式。
