NCT ID NCT04634916
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Aug 11, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study is testing a device called the WavelinQ EndoAVF System that creates a connection between an artery and a vein (AV fistula) in people who need dialysis. The goal is to make it easier to start and continue dialysis with fewer complications. About 280 adults with end-stage kidney disease will be enrolled to see how well the device works and how safe it is.
