Tissue markers for early AV fistula narrowing
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at tissue samples from people getting or fixing an AV fistula for dialysis. The goal is to find markers that might predict early narrowing (stenosis) of the fistula, so doctors can prevent problems in the future.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You are planning to get your first AV fistula for dialysis, or you need a procedure to fix a problem with an existing AV fistula.
- You are willing to sign a consent form to join the study.

This study is testing a new monitoring tool to keep an eye on the health of the fistula used for dialysis. It aims to catch problems early so you can avoid complications.
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 study records and analyzes sounds from people getting hemodialysis through an access in the arm (an AV fistula or graft). It aims to see whether sound patterns can help assess or guide the best vascular access approach for dialysis.
This study looks at whether blood markers and the condition of your blood vessels before surgery can predict how well a new dialysis access (fistula) will work. It aims to help doctors identify patients who may need extra care to ensure their fistula matures properly.
This trial tests a special balloon that releases medication to help keep your dialysis fistula (the blood vessel used for treatment) open longer if it has narrowed. It may be a good option if you have a blockage in the vein side of your fistula that causes problems during dialysis.
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.
