Study Overview

Brief Summary

Compare the effectiveness of drug-coated balloons to plain balloon angioplasty in reducing stenosis rates in dialysis arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs).

Detailed Description

Objectives of the Study:

Hypothesis: Drug-coated balloons improve functional and patency outcomes of failing/dysfunctional hemodialysis fistulas compared to plain uncoated balloons

Aim of the Study:

Compare the effectiveness of drug-coated balloons to plain balloon angioplasty in reducing stenosis rates in dialysis AVFs.

Inclusion Criteria

  • Inclusion criteria
  • >18 year old
  • Dysfunctional dialysis fistula
  • Radiocephalic
  • Brachiocephalic
  • Brachiobasilic
  • Clinical criteria for diagnosis of dysfunctional fistula:
  • Swelling of the fistula limb
  • Prolonged bleeding after withdrawing access needles
  • Abnormal pulsations or weak thrill.
  • Functional criteria for the diagnosis of dysfunctional criteria:
  • Arteriovenous fistula is unable to deliver dialysis blood flow (Qb) of equal to or more than 300 ml/min and/or access recirculation of more than 10% on at least two occasions,
  • A rising trend of venous pressure or excessive negative arterial pressure, and/or unable to deliver a Kt/v of 1.2 or more.
  • Non-thrombosed

Exclusion Criteria

  • Dysfunctional arteriovenous (AV) grafts
  • Thrombosed fistulas
  • Intra-stent stenosis
  • Stenoses not responding to balloon angioplasty and requiring stenting.
  • Stenosis less than 50%
  • Surgical intervention that excludes the treatment segment from the access circuit
  • Systemic or local (to the fistula) infection treated for less than 10 days prior to the study procedure
  • Location of isolated stenosis central to the thoracic inlet.
  • Women who are breastfeeding, pregnant or are intending to become pregnant
  • Known hypersensitivity or contraindication to contrast medium which cannot be adequately premeditated.
  • Sensitivities to heparin, aspirin, other anticoagulant/antiplatelet therapies, and/or paclitaxel
