Blood flow and sounds in new dialysis access
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 90 years old.
- You need a new access point for dialysis, either because you are starting dialysis soon or already on hemodialysis.
- Your doctor plans to create an AV fistula in your forearm as your first choice.
- You have no condition that makes fistula surgery unsafe (like a vein problem).
- You never had a failed fistula in the same arm before.
- You can have an MRI safely (no pacemaker, metal implants, severe claustrophobia, or pregnancy).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study records and analyzes sounds from people getting hemodialysis through an access in the arm (an AV fistula or graft). It aims to see whether sound patterns can help assess or guide the best vascular access approach for dialysis.
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 tests whether a special ultrasound implant (EchoMark) helps a new dialysis fistula mature properly. It involves people with advanced kidney disease who are starting or already on dialysis and are having a fistula created in the upper arm.
This trial tests a special type of ultrasound placed inside a blood vessel to better understand problems with dialysis access. It may help doctors find the cause of access malfunction during your diagnostic fistulogram.
This trial tests a special wrap placed around a new arm access point for dialysis (called an AV fistula) to see if it helps the access stay healthy and work better. It is for people who need a new AV fistula for kidney dialysis.
This study tests a small mesh support called VasQ that is placed around your new fistula to help it heal and stay open longer. It is for people who are getting a new fistula for dialysis access.
