New Stent for Dialysis Access Blockages
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests a new stent to open narrowed or blocked areas in dialysis access (fistula or graft). It may help improve blood flow so dialysis works better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a mature AV fistula or graft in your arm that has been used for dialysis for at least 30 days.
- The narrowed area (lesion) in your access is at least 50% blocked, no longer than 8 cm, and not in the needle insertion zone.
- You do not have an active infection, bleeding problem, or allergy to the stent materials or medications used.
- You haven't had a prior stent placed in the same area, or if you have, it was at least 30 days ago and is working well.
- You are willing to come back for follow-up visits for 2 years after the procedure.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a special stent graft called WRAPSODY CIE to treat narrowed or blocked veins in the arm used for dialysis. It aims to keep your access working well so you can continue receiving hemodialysis.
This study tests a new stent (a tiny mesh tube) to open blocked arteries in the pelvis or thigh area. It may help improve blood flow and reduce leg pain or wounds.
This trial tests a balloon treatment for blocked blood vessels in the arm used for dialysis. It aims to improve blood flow so dialysis can work better.
This trial tests a special balloon that releases medication to help keep your dialysis fistula (the blood vessel used for treatment) open longer if it has narrowed. It may be a good option if you have a blockage in the vein side of your fistula that causes problems during dialysis.
This trial tests a special high-pressure balloon to open up narrowed areas in the blood vessels used for dialysis. It may help improve blood flow and make dialysis work better.
This trial tests a new way to reopen blocked or narrowed fistulas (the blood vessels used for dialysis) in people on hemodialysis. The goal is to see how well it works and if it saves money compared to other treatments.
