Checking blood flow in dialysis fistulas
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You are on hemodialysis (dialysis for your kidneys).
- You have a mature and working AV fistula (a natural connection between an artery and vein that has been made for dialysis).
- You have not had problems with your AV fistula in the past.
- You do not use a graft or a catheter (plastic tube) for dialysis.
- Your doctor expects you to live for more than 1 year.

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 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.
This study tests a device that uses light to check the health of your AV access (the blood vessel connection used for dialysis) without touching it. It may help doctors spot problems early.
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 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.
