High-pressure balloon for dialysis fistula narrowing
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a new high-pressure balloon to open up narrowed areas in the vein of a dialysis fistula. It aims to improve blood flow and make dialysis work better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be able to understand the study and give your written consent.
- You have a narrowed (blocked) area in your dialysis fistula that is causing problems like high pressure or poor dialysis efficiency.
- The narrowing must be greater than 50% and have been confirmed by an imaging test (like ultrasound or contrast dye).
- You have not had major surgery in the last 30 days, and you are not planning major surgery in the next 30 days.
- Your fistula must be mature (already used for dialysis successfully) and cannot have a stent inside it.

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.
This trial tests a balloon device to open up narrowed veins in an AV fistula used for dialysis. It may help if your fistula has a blockage that causes problems like high pressure or low blood flow.
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 tests a balloon treatment for blocked blood vessels in the arm used for dialysis. It aims to improve blood flow so dialysis can work better.
This trial tests whether a drug-coated balloon works better than a plain balloon to open up narrowed spots in your dialysis access. If you have a failing AVF with a narrowing that can be treated, this study may help improve your dialysis.
This trial tests two types of balloon catheters (scoring and high-pressure) to open up narrowed spots in dialysis grafts. The goal is to find which works better to keep your access working well for dialysis.
