Compare Elbow mNT-BBAVF With Wrist RCAVF for Hemodialysis Access

Not Applicable
Conditions
End Stage Renal Disease on Dialysis
Interventions
Procedure: RCAVF
Procedure: mNT-BBAVF
Registration Number
NCT03701243
Lead Sponsor
Shanghai 10th People's Hospital
Brief Summary

Investigator plan to conduct a multicenter, open-labelled, randomized study to compare the primary patency and safety of elbow mNT-BBAVF and wrist RCAVF in hemodialysis patients.

Detailed Description

Although wrist radiocephalic arteriovenous fistula (RCAVF) has been recommended as first preferred fistula in many clinical practical guidelines for vascular access, there are no randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing the recommended anatomic order of distal-to-proximal access construction up to now. A modified non-transposed brachiobasilic arteriovenous fistula (mNT-BBAVF) that has a long length of suitable superficial vein for cannulation and a sufficient blood flow for effective dialysis has been introduced by investigator for several years. In addition, mNT-BBAVF has good primary patency and a low risk of complication and leave opportunities for further procedures in the event of failure. Investigator plan to conduct a multicenter, open-labelled, randomized study to compare the primary patency and safety of elbow mNT-BBAVF and wrist RCAVF in hemodialysis patients.

Recruitment & Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria
  1. Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage 5 requiring hemodialysis (including pre-dialysis patients) and eligible for a native arteriovenous fistula;
  2. Adult (age ≥ 18 years old);
  3. Preoperative Doppler ultrasonography showing target vein diameter(s) ≥ 2.0 mm and target artery diameter(s) ≥ 2.0 mm;
  4. Estimated life expectancy > 1 year;
  5. Written informed consent obtained;
  6. Patient is free of clinically significant conditions or illness that may compromise the procedure within 30 days prior to AVF creation
Exclusion Criteria
  1. Patients with a history of cerebral hemorrhage or gastrointestinal hemorrhage are excluded from the study;
  2. New York Heart Association class III or IV heart failure;
  3. Patients who are absent of median cubital vein and verified by preoperative Doppler ultrasonography are excluded from the study;
  4. Known central venous stenosis, central vein narrowing > 50% or deep vein thrombosis based on imaging on the same side as the planned AVF creation;
  5. Prior arm surgically created access in the planned treatment arm;
  6. Immunosuppression (i.e. use of immunosuppressive medications to treat an active condition).

Arm && Interventions
GroupInterventionDescription
RCAVFRCAVFThese patients will receive a radiocephalic arteriovenous fistula (RCAVF) at wrist for hemodialysis acess.
mNT-BBAVFmNT-BBAVFThese patients will receive a modified non-transposed brachiobasilic arteriovenous fistula (mNT-BBAVF) at elbow for hemodialysis acess.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Primary Unassisted Patency1 year

This is the time of access creation or placement until any first intervention to maintain or restore blood flow

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Cumulative Patency1 year

This is the time of access creation or placement until access abandonment

Immediate Vascular Access Failure72 hours

This is an access that has either no appearance of or a loss of bruit or thrill within 72 hours of creation

Early Dialysis Suitability Failure3 months

This is an access that, despite radiological or surgical intervention, cannot be used successfully for dialysis by the third month following its creation.
