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.

Similar studies
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 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.
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.
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 trial tests a small implant device that can make dialysis fistulas easier to access with needles when normal needle access is too difficult or risky. It may help reduce painful failed attempts and needle-related complications for people with certain types of fistulas.
