Balloon types for fistula narrowing in dialysis patients
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- You have a mature fistula in your upper arm that has been used for dialysis at least once.
- The narrowed spot in your fistula is at least 50% blocked and causes problems like high pressure during dialysis or low blood flow.
- You have not had a stent placed in your fistula before.
- You are not planning a kidney transplant or switching to peritoneal dialysis in the next year.
- You do not have an active infection or a blood clotting disorder.

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 whether a drug-coated balloon works better than a plain balloon to open up narrowed spots in your dialysis access. If you have a failing AVF with a narrowing that can be treated, this study may help improve your dialysis.
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 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.
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 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.
