Trial Comparing Angiography and Angiography With IVUS for Treatment of Hemodialysis Access Failures
United States66 participantsStarted 2014-02-18
Plain-language summary
The reason the investigators are doing this study is to compare the results of angiography versus angiography with intravascular ultrasound in dialysis grafts/fistulas that are blocked.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
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)
