Brief Summary
Prospective multi-center single-blinded randomized controlled trial (RCT) investigating the safety and feasibility of the SELUTION SLR™ (Sustained Limus Release) 018 drug eluting balloon (DEB) for the treatment of failed AV fistula in renal dialysis patients. Patients will be randomised to either SELUTION SLR or POBA.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (2)
Primary Patency of the treated lesion at 6 months post-intervention.
Primary patency: Defined as uninterrupted patency after the initial intervention with regular ongoing dialysis until symptomatic recurrent stenosis of the dialysis circuit, or thrombosis, mandating repeat treatment, or further surgical intervention of the access circuit or eventual failure/abandonment of the circuit with creation of alternative access for dialysis. This endpoint will be analysed cumulatively at 6 months and with time-to-event methods (e.g. Kaplan Meier) on extended follow-up period to 2 years.
6 months
Freedom from any serious adverse event(s) involving the AV access circuit or the patient at 30 days
Freedom from any serious adverse event(s) involving the AV access circuit or the patient at 30 days.

Secondary Outcomes (6)
Freedom from any serious adverse event(s) involving the AV access circuit or the patient at 6 months.

Control Treatment
ACTIVE COMPARATORPOBA
Interventions
Subjects will receive standard high-pressure balloon angioplasty followed by local application of sirolimus with the SELUTION SLR™ 018 DEB (MedAlliance) of appropriate diameter and length to achieve full lesion coverage.
The control arm will receive standard high-pressure balloon angioplasty of appropriate diameter and length and no further lesion treatment.
