Bevel direction during dialysis fistula puncture
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have chronic kidney disease and need dialysis 3 times a week for 4 hours each time.
- This is your first fistula (a surgical connection between an artery and vein in your arm).
- Your fistula is new (never punctured before), mature, and in your arm, not using a plastic tube.
- You expect to be on dialysis for at least 1 year.
- You use two needles for each dialysis session and can do dialysis through your fistula.
- The blood flow in your fistula is between 500 and 2,000 mL per minute.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 tests a new approach to creating an AV fistula, a connection between an artery and a vein used for hemodialysis. It aims to see if the procedure is safe and works well for people with kidney failure who need 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 compares two ways to create a dialysis access point in your arm: one is a standard surgery, the other uses a less invasive needle-based technique. The goal is to see which method works better, costs less, and has fewer complications.
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.
This trial tests whether stem cells from donated umbilical cords can help keep your new dialysis fistula open and working. It may reduce the chance of the fistula narrowing, which can help you have smoother dialysis over time.
