Lung Blood Flow Changes After Vein Graft Repair
Part of Heart & circulation, Kidney & urinary, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study measures how blood flow and oxygen distribution in your lungs change after a procedure to unclog a dialysis access graft. Researchers use painless electrode patches on your chest to track these changes and better understand how the procedure affects your breathing.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have end-stage kidney disease and receive regular hemodialysis (kidney cleaning treatment)
- You have a blood clot in your arteriovenous graft (the vein surgeons created for dialysis) that needs to be cleared
- You can lie flat on your back and stay still while electrode patches monitor your lungs
- You are willing to sign a consent form and participate in the study
- You do not have severe lung disease, heart failure, or pregnancy

This trial tests a new way of managing blood flow in the lungs for people with a severe lung condition called ARDS. It aims to improve oxygen levels by gently switching blood flow on and off in the lungs, which may help you recover.
This study tests whether a special imaging technique called EIT (electrical impedance tomography) combined with a safe contrast injection can measure blood flow in the lungs of patients on breathing machines. If it works, it could help doctors better manage critically ill patients.
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 studies a procedure to open up blocked or narrowed areas in the plastic tube (graft) used for dialysis. It aims to see if the procedure works well and if it is cost-effective for patients who have trouble completing dialysis because of graft issues.
This study tests a new, less invasive method using electrical impedance tomography (EIT) to monitor blood flow in the lungs compared to the standard pulmonary artery catheter. It might help doctors manage your care with fewer risks.
This study uses a special imaging technique called electrical impedance tomography (EIT) to measure how blood flows through your lungs during surgery for chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension. The goal is to better understand how this imaging tool works and improve outcomes for patients having this procedure.
