The Boston Scientific ACCESS trial seeks to study the safety and to evaluate the success of the Fusion™ Vascular Access Graft for patients in need of early vascular access for hemodialysis. The primary objective is to demonstrate that secondary patency at 6 months for the Fusion™ Vascular Access Graft is not less than an objective performance criterion (OPC) minus a clinically relevant margin (δ). The OPC represents secondary patency at 6 months for the standard of care access grafts.~The secondary safety endpoint is the occurrence of CEC-adjudicated device or procedure related adverse events through 24 months post implant procedure, or through discharge for patients with unsuccessful device implantation. Secondary efficacy endpoints include:primary patency; primary assisted patency; ability to revise a failed graft; early access capability; time to hemostasis.~Subjects will undergo a thorough medical assessment and physical examination pre-procedure and will be assessed peri-procedure. Enrolled subjects with a device implanted will be evaluated at 1, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months post implant procedure.
