NCT02056704

Brief 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.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Change in characteristics of lesion within the vessel

    This will include vessel diameters proximal and distal to lesions, percent stenosis, and lesion lengths.

    every 3 months - up to 2 years

Study Arms (2)

Angiography

NO INTERVENTION

Evaluation by angiography only.

Angiography with IVUS

EXPERIMENTAL

Evaluation with angiography and intravascular ultrasound.

Device: Angiography with IVUS

Interventions

The use of IVUS to evaluate dialysis access failure.

Also known as: Volcano IVUS catheter
Angiography with IVUS

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • \> 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

You may not qualify if:

  • 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)
