Abstract: A method and system are provided for performing dialysis. The system provides needleless vascular access which reduces the repeated traumas of conventional dialysis by providing a vascular graft and port combination which interfaces with a specially-designed catheter system. The installed implant is low profile, small and stable, and saddles the vessel to secure the protruding surface tissue above. The stability of the port is maintained by features that encompass the vessel and the surrounding tissue. These features are enhanced by the catheter attachment, which also provides reduced trauma and provides convenient access to the implant for performance of dialysis functions.
