HeRO is a fully subcutaneous AV access solution, clinically proven to maintain long-term access for hemodialysis patients with venous outflow obstruction.

Procedure Overview of HeRO Device Placement

• Venous Outflow Component: Utilizing endovascular techniques, the venous outflow component is placed in the central venous vasculature with the radiopaque distal tip sitting in the mid-to-upper right atrium. The proximal end of the outflow component is tunneled to the deltopectoral groove.
  
• Arterial Graft Component: The ePTFE graft is tunneled in a superficial soft C-curve to allow maximum area for cannulation. At the deltopectoral groove, the proprietary titanium connector on the graft is joined with the venous outflow component. The connected system is tucked into the soft tissue. To complete the procedure, a standard arterial anastomosis is performed to attach the ePTFE graft to the target artery.

Intended Use

The HeRO Vascular Access Device is intended for use in maintaining long-term vascular access for chronic hemodialysis patients who have exhausted peripheral venous access sites suitable for fistulas or grafts. See the Instructions for Use manual for full prescribing information.
