New device aims to improve dialysis vein success
NCT ID NCT07058610
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a special device called the Amplifi Vein Dilation System in 19 adults with end-stage kidney disease who needed a vein connection (fistula) for dialysis. The goal was to see if the device could safely widen the vein and help the fistula mature faster. The study measured vein size, blood flow, and any device-related problems.

Inclusion Criteria * Age ≥ 18 years * Indicated for wrist or distal forearm radiocephalic AVF creation based on Investigator's standard practice * ESRD currently receiving maintenance hemodialysis via a tunneled, cuffed hemodialysis catheter * Baseline wrist or distal forearm cephalic vein diameter of \>= 1.7 mm and \< 3.2 mm at the proposed Study AVF creation site, wherein the wrist or forearm cephalic vein at the proposed Study AVF creation site is suitable for Amplifi Distal Outflow Catheter placement and Amplifi System treatment, including: * \>= 1.7 mm to \< 3.2 mm diameter of the wrist or forearm cephalic vein at the proposed Study AVF creation site; * patency and continuity of blood flow from the proposed Study AVF creation site centrally to the upper arm at the elbow through at least one or more of: 1) the upper arm cephalic vein; 2) the median cubital vein to the upper arm basilic system; or 3) the perforator vein to the deep venous system; and * no occlusion or stenosis \> 50% along the course of the forearm cephalic vein and at least one upper arm venous outflow up to the subclavian vein, as determined by duplex ultrasonography * Estimated forearm hemodialysis needle cannulation zone length \> 18 cm after creation of the proposed Study AVF * At least one patent internal jugular vein suitable for Amplifi Inflow Catheter insertion * Subject has voluntarily signed written informed consent Exclusion Criteria: * Known allergy or hypersensitivity to any Amplifi System components (polyurethane, nitinol), iodinated contrast agents, heparin, or apixaban * Known or suspected active infection at the proposed time of Amplifi System placement * Known bleeding diathesis, including uncorrected coagulopathy * Known thrombophilia requiring treatment * Hemoglobin \< 10 g/dL * Platelet count \< 100,000/mm³ * Requirement for continued treatment with antiplatelet agents or anticoagulants other than apixaban during the Amplifi System treatment period * Known history of patent foramen ovale \> 2 mm * History of recent intracranial or gastrointestinal bleeding * Documented recent central venous or right atrial thrombus * History of recent ipsilateral central venous occlusion, \> 50% stenosis, angioplasty, or stent placement * Pregnancy, lactation, or plans to become pregnant during the study * Unwillingness or inability to comply with protocol-specified procedures or follow-up visits * Participation in another investigational drug or medical device study that has not completed primary endpoint evaluation, that could clinically interfere with study endpoints, or planned participation in such a study prior to completion of this study
