New ultrasound device aims to speed up dialysis access healing

NCT ID NCT06190717

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests a device called EchoMark/EchoSure that is implanted during fistula surgery for dialysis patients. The device uses automated ultrasound to monitor healing every two weeks. The goal is to see if it helps the fistula mature faster and reduces the need for additional procedures. About 304 adults with kidney failure and diabetes are being enrolled.
