Summary

This study looks at whether a special ultrasound inside the vein (IVUS) can find blockages better than the usual X-ray method in people with kidney failure who are on dialysis. About 50 patients will be checked during a routine procedure. The goal is to see if IVUS gives clearer details about the blockage, which could help doctors treat it more effectively.
