ARTERIOVENOUS FISTULA

This study is testing a new liquid material designed to block off abnormal tangles of blood vessels in the brain, known as arteriovenous malformations (AVMs). It will compare this new agent to an existing, approved treatment to see if it works as well or better. About 116 adults …

This study is testing a new way to connect kidney failure patients to their dialysis machines. Instead of the standard method of using two needles in the same fragile blood vessel access point, this technique uses only one needle there and returns the cleaned blood through a vein…

This study is monitoring a device called the Cera Vascular Plug System after it has been approved for use. The plug is used to block off abnormal or leaking blood vessels in conditions like aneurysms or fistulas. Researchers will follow 132 patients for one year to confirm the de…

This study is testing a new, dissolvable wrap called SelfWrap that is placed around a surgically created blood vessel connection (fistula) used for dialysis. The goal is to see if the wrap helps the fistula develop properly and last longer while reducing complications, compared t…

This study is testing a medical device that creates a connection between an artery and vein for dialysis access using a minimally invasive approach. The research involves 280 adults with kidney failure who need dialysis. Doctors will track how well the access works for dialysis a…

This study is testing a new device called the Velocity System that creates a dialysis access point using a small skin puncture and a catheter, avoiding traditional open surgery. It will enroll 126 adults with kidney failure who need dialysis access to see if this less invasive me…
