Pritham Reddy, MD, RVT
"My interest in medicine began at an early age and has only increased over time. I have a passion for helping people through what can be very difficult times in their lives. The greatest thing that I can offer my patients is hope for recovery and insight into their disease process. The most important part of the team in my opinion is the patient."

Polyurethaneurea Arteriovenous Grafts, Nephrology News and

2005.
BACKGROUND: Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) grafts often require
temporary catheters, which increase costs as well as risk of infection,
bleeding, and poor blood flow. Polyurethaneurea (PUU) grafts can be
cannulated within 24 hours of placement, avoiding the need for
temporary catheters.
