Dialysis patients: which imaging technique works best for blocked access?
NCT ID NCT02056704
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 66 adults with blocked dialysis grafts or fistulas to see if adding an extra imaging tool (IVUS) to standard angiography helps doctors better understand the blockage. The goal was to compare how well each method measures the narrowing and size of the blood vessel. The study did not test a new treatment, but rather aimed to improve how blockages are assessed.

Inclusion Criteria: * \> 18 years old * Male or female (non-pregnant females) * Patients with hemodialysis access failure (arteriovenous fistulae or arteriovenous grafts) * Patients must undergo elective angiographies (fistulograms) based on surveillance duplex ultrasound findings (stenosis) * Patients with outflow stenoses between 1 cm distal to an arterial anastamosis and clavicle in AV fistulae or between venous anastamosis and clavicle in AV grafts found on surveillance duplex ultrasound Exclusion Criteria: * Patients with other etiologies (inflow lesions, intragraft lesions, hypercoagulable states, lesions not readily amenable to stenting), advanced failures (thrombosis, central venous occlusion), and non-routine access conformations (chest wall/groin grafts, balloon assisted maturation)
