AV fistula study for people starting dialysis
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have non-reversible kidney failure and are scheduled to start or are already on hemodialysis
- You are 18 years old or older
- Your target vein and artery sizes are at least 2.0 mm
- You have good blood flow to your hand through both main arteries
- You are 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 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 trial compares three types of surgical connections (fistulas) between an artery and a vein in the arm, used for dialysis. It looks at which type works best for people with advanced kidney disease who need a new access point for dialysis.
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 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.
