Endovascular vs Surgical Arteriovenous Fistula Outcomes

Running, not enrolling · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Dialysis Fistula Creation, Endo-vascular AVFs

In brief

Arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) are the preferred type of vascular access for dialysis, but many of them fail to mature. There are two techniques of creating AVFs either the traditional way with surgery( Surgical AVFs) or novel per-cutaneous technique Endo- AVFs. Investigators will pilot an randomized clinical trial of endo-AVFs and surgical AVFs at University of Alabama at Birmingham to determine the feasibility of patient recruitment, randomization, and retention. This pilot study will set the stage for a full-scale randomized clinical trial in future.
