Here is the official contest for longest running dialysis graft on IHD.com.
I have been on dialysis nine years, the second graft has been going 7 years!

I know. I'm glad I haven't needed one of those yet! I think 7 yrs is the longest I've ever heard anyone having a graft though. Good job on keeping it functional!

Well, I'm not going to qualify here - My first one lasted less than a week. My second is on its last legs already - at just over a year of use. I've had it for two years.

I've had mine for 27 years...oh wait, it hasn't functioned in over 25. :rofl;
