Ultrasound to predict success of balloon treatment for immature fistulas
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at whether ultrasound can help predict if a balloon procedure will successfully help an immature fistula (the connection used for dialysis) to grow and work properly. If you have a fistula that is not developing as expected, this trial may help find the best way to treat it.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have a fistula (for dialysis) that has not matured as expected and is referred for a balloon-assisted procedure.
- Your fistula is in the arm (radio-cephalic or brachio-cephalic type), not a type that needs moving or superficialization.
- You have not had a previous balloon-assisted procedure to help your fistula mature.
- You are willing and able to give consent and follow the study procedures.

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 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 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 balloon treatment for blocked blood vessels in the arm used for dialysis. It aims to improve blood flow so dialysis can work better.
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 balloon device to open up narrowed veins in an AV fistula used for dialysis. It may help if your fistula has a blockage that causes problems like high pressure or low blood flow.
