An arteriovenous graft and methods of reducing the risk of graft thrombosis and extending patency of the arteriovenous graft are provided herein. The arteriovenous graft is operable for attaching to a vein at a venous anastomosis. In some aspects, the arteriovenous graft includes a plurality of grooves at a venous anastomosis end of the arteriovenous graft and the venous anastomoses may be arranged such that the arteriovenous graft and the vein meet at an angle of 30° or less.
