Tiny trial tests best way to create dialysis access
NCT ID NCT04376567
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This pilot study aimed to compare two standard surgical methods for creating an arteriovenous (AV) fistula in the arm for dialysis patients with kidney failure. The goal was to see if a single procedure or two separate procedures leads to better outcomes and quality of life. However, the trial was terminated early with only 2 participants enrolled, so no meaningful conclusions can be drawn.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Procedure: one-stage or two-stage brachial basilic arteriovenous fistula creation
What this could lead to
If successful, this trial could help determine which surgical approach (one or two procedures) is better for dialysis patients needing an AV fistula, potentially improving quality of life and reducing complications.
What could go wrong
This is a very small pilot trial (only 2 participants) that was terminated early, so results may not be reliable or generalizable. No strong conclusions can be drawn.
