Testing a new graft for hemodialysis access in kidney failure
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether an “AV graft” implant works safely and well for people with end-stage kidney disease who need hemodialysis. It may help your dialysis access last and work better, compared with current expectations for AV grafts.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have end-stage kidney disease (ESRD) and your care team thinks an AV graft is the best next option for dialysis access
- You are between 18 and 90 years old
- Your arm/forearm anatomy is suitable for an AV graft shape the surgeon can place safely
- You can take antiplatelet medicine after the implant (blood thinners are allowed if you need them for another condition)
- You expect to live at least 1 year and you can agree to the study after learning the details
- During surgery, the artery and vein in your planned arm must look usable to the surgeon

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a new artificial graft device designed to create a reliable access point in your arm for hemodialysis if you have end-stage kidney disease. The graft connects an artery to a vein, allowing easier and safer blood flow during dialysis treatments.
This trial tests a new device called the Velocity pAVF System that creates a connection between a vein and artery in your arm for hemodialysis. If you need dialysis now or within the next 6 months, this could be a new option for you.
This study tests a device that uses light to check the health of your AV access (the blood vessel connection used for dialysis) without touching it. It may help doctors spot problems early.
This study tests a new type of graft (aXess) for dialysis access in people with kidney failure who cannot get a fistula. The graft is placed in the arm to help with blood flow during dialysis.
This trial tests a new graft (artificial blood vessel) placed in your upper arm to help you receive kidney dialysis. The graft connects an artery to a vein, creating a reliable access point for dialysis needles.
This trial tests a new type of dialysis access graft (called aXess-E) for people with kidney failure who need a graft in their arm. It aims to see if the graft works well for long-term dialysis.
