Summary

This study compares a drug-coated balloon to a standard balloon for treating narrowed blood vessels used in dialysis. The drug (paclitaxel) helps prevent the vessel from narrowing again. Researchers want to see if the special balloon keeps the access working longer, reducing the need for repeat procedures and hospital stays. About 52 adults with failing dialysis access are taking part.
