Summary

This study compares two ways to create a connection between an artery and vein (called a fistula) for dialysis in people with kidney failure. The new method uses a device through the skin (endoAVF) instead of open surgery, avoiding general anesthesia. Researchers will enroll 90 patients to see how well each method works and which patients qualify for the newer approach.
