Fig 3 Cumulative primary patency rates of prosthetic grafts in patients who were HIV+ versus HIV–. Prosthetic graft patency rates in patients who were HIV– were significantly higher than in patients who were HIV+ (P ≤.05).

Fig 4 Cumulative primary patency rates of autologous arteriovenous fistulae in patients who were HIV+ versus HIV–. Differences in patency rates between the two groups were not significant.

Fig 5 Cumulative primary patency rates of autologous arteriovenous fistulae versus prosthetic grafts in patients who were HIV+. Patency rates between arteriovenous fistulae and prosthetic bridging grafts differed significantly (P ≤ .001).
