Ultrasound to Predict Balloon Success for Fistula Maturation
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study uses ultrasound to predict whether a balloon procedure can help a poorly growing dialysis fistula mature. If you have a fistula in your wrist or upper arm that isn't working well, this trial may help doctors choose the best treatment for you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have a fistula (AVF) in your wrist or upper arm that is not maturing properly
- Your fistula is suitable for a balloon procedure to help it grow
- You haven't had a previous balloon maturation procedure for this fistula
- You are willing to come for study visits and follow instructions

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 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 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 trial tests a special high-pressure balloon to open up narrowed areas in the blood vessels used for dialysis. It may help improve blood flow and make dialysis work better.
