Endovascular treatment for dialysis graft problems
Part of Heart & circulation, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial studies a procedure to open up blocked or narrowed areas in the plastic tube (graft) used for dialysis. It aims to see if the procedure works well and if it is cost-effective for patients who have trouble completing dialysis because of graft issues.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old and currently on hemodialysis.
- You have a plastic tube (AV graft) that is not working well enough for dialysis.
- Doctors can pass a thin wire through the narrowed area of your graft and treat it with a balloon or other device.
- You are willing to sign a consent form and come for follow-up visits.

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.
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 compares two types of balloons used to open up narrowed areas in the blood vessels of dialysis patients. It aims to find which balloon works better for keeping the fistula working well.
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.
This study tests a new graft (a tube) that helps people with kidney failure get hemodialysis (a treatment that cleans the blood). The graft is placed in the arm to create a reliable access point for dialysis, and the trial will check how safe and effective it is.
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.
