Feasibility study of AV fistula creation for kidney failure patients
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests a new approach to creating an AV fistula, a connection between an artery and a vein used for hemodialysis. It aims to see if the procedure is safe and works well for people with kidney failure who need dialysis.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have kidney failure that requires hemodialysis, or you will need it soon
- Your veins and arteries in the arm are large enough (at least 2 mm)
- Blood flow to your hand is normal, checked with ultrasound or a simple test
- You are generally healthy enough for the procedure and can attend follow-up visits

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 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 study tests whether an “AV graft” implant works safely and well for people with end-stage kidney disease who need hemodialysis. It may help your dialysis access last and work better, compared with current expectations for AV grafts.
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.
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.
