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 tests a new device that monitors blood flow in the AV fistula (the connection between an artery and vein used for dialysis) to make sure it stays healthy and works well.
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 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.
