Inclusion criteria

* The patient is not a candidate for a native fistula. * The patient requires the creation of an upper arm vascular access graft for hemodialysis secondary to a diagnosis of End-Stage Renal Disease. * The patient has been on hemodialysis for ≥1 month.

Exclusion criteria

* The patient is scheduled for a different surgical procedure within 30 days post Index Procedure. * The patient has a known hypercoagulable disorder or bleeding disorder. * The patient has had a previous instance of Heparin Induced Thrombocytopenia Type II (HIT type II) or has known sensitivity to heparin.

Number of Participants With a Prevalence of a Positive Poly-specific Enzyme Immunoassay (EIA) at Day 7 and/or Day 14 Time Points

Antibody screening was performed using a commercial poly-specific EIA that detects antibodies of any of the IgG, IgA, and / or IgM classes against PF4/polyvinyl sulfonate complexes, the EIA-GAM.

Time frame: 14 days after index procedure

Population: In the GORE® Hybrid Vascular Graft Group 19 out of 23 participants had obtained a serology sample at Day 7 and/or Day 14 for analysis.~In the Non-heparin bonded synthetic graft Group 16 out of 19 participants had obtained a serology sample at Day 7 and/or Day 14 for analysis.
