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.
