Study of blood flow risk after fistula surgery
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at the risk of a lack of blood flow (ischaemia) after creating an arteriovenous fistula, which is a small surgical connection made between an artery and a vein for dialysis. The goal is to better understand how often this problem happens and what factors might increase the risk.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have stage 5 chronic kidney disease (the most advanced stage, sometimes called kidney failure).
- You are going to have a procedure to create an arteriovenous fistula (a special connection between an artery and a vein used for dialysis).
- You have health insurance or are covered by a social security system.

This study looks at whether blood markers and the condition of your blood vessels before surgery can predict how well a new dialysis access (fistula) will work. It aims to help doctors identify patients who may need extra care to ensure their fistula matures properly.
This study compares two surgical techniques for creating an arteriovenous fistula (AV fistula), a special connection between an artery and a vein in the arm that makes dialysis easier. If you need dialysis for advanced kidney disease, this trial aims to see which method works better and lasts longer.
This study looks at blood flow and sounds in new arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) during dialysis. If you need a new AVF in your forearm, this trial may help doctors understand how to make your fistula work better.
This study monitors how well the BD WavelinQ endoAVF device works after routine clinical use. It may help people who need a dialysis access fistula by sharing real-world safety and performance data.
This study looks at which way the needle bevel should face when starting dialysis through a new fistula. It might help reduce pain or damage to the fistula.
This trial is testing a device to create an AV fistula for patients with kidney failure who need or will soon need dialysis. It may help reduce complications and improve fistula success.
