Inclusion criteria

  • Age 18 years or older
  • Diagnosed with ESRD and currently on hemodialysis for less than 12 months using a central venous catheter for access
  • Eligible for a native surgical brachiocephalic arteriovenous fistula following assessment by the principal investigator and study sponsor
  • Cubital perforating vein diameter of > 2.5 mm and length > 10.0 mm
  • Proximal radial artery diameter ≥ 2.0 mm
  • Patient is free of conditions or illness within 30 days prior to the AV fistula that may compromise the procedure
  • Willing and competent to give written

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Distance between Proximal Radial Artery and Cubital Perforating vein > 3mm
  • Ipsilateral arm systolic blood pressure \< 110 mmHg
  • Known central venous stenosis or central vein narrowing > 50% ipsilateral to the study extremity
  • Any obstruction of venous outflow from device implant site to the axillary vein
  • Patients with occlusion of the ulnar or radial artery at any level or an abnormal Allen's test
  • Any previous dialysis vascular access procedures in the study extremity
  • History of steal syndrome (hand ischemia) from a previous hemodialysis vascular access of the non-study extremity which required intervention or access abandonment
  • Upper extremity venous occlusion(s) and/or vessel abnormality(ies) of the study extremity that precludes endovascular AVF creation as determined by principal investigator or study sponsor
  • Evidence of active systemic infections on day of the procedure or infection at the access site within the past 7 days
  • History or evidence of severe cardiac disease ( Functional Class III or IV), myocardial infarction within six months prior to study entry, ventricular tachyarrhythmias requiring continuing treatment, or unstable angina
  • Currently being treated with another device or drug
  • Known adverse effects to sedation and/or anesthesia which cannot be adequately pre-medicated
  • Uncontrolled or poorly controlled diabetes defined as a > 10%
  • Hypercoagulable condition, bleeding diathesis or coagulation disorder
  • Receiving anti-coagulant therapy that cannot be safely held in the peri-procedural period
  • Edema of the upper arm of the study extremity
  • Scheduled kidney transplant within 6 months of enrollment
  • Peripheral white blood cell count \< 1.5 K/mm3 or count \< 75,000 cells/mm3
  • Current diagnosis of carcinoma (defined as in remission \< 1 year)
  • Pregnant or currently breast feeding
  • History of substance abuse or anticipated to be non- compliant with medical care or study requirements based on investigator judgment
  • Allergies to NiTi alloy or any of the components of the Velocity Implant or Delivery System
  • Written not obtainable
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(6)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Clinically significant

Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

NYHA class (heart failure)

The New York Heart Association’s four classes of how much heart failure limits physical activity.

I
No limits: ordinary activity causes no undue tiredness or breathlessness.
II
Slight limits: comfortable at rest, ordinary activity causes symptoms.
III
Marked limits: comfortable at rest, less than ordinary activity causes symptoms.
IV
Symptoms even at rest; any activity makes them worse.

Studies set their own limit — many outside heart failure leave out class III–IV, while heart failure studies may ask for a particular class. Check the class this study names.

Investigational drug or device

A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.

It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

HbA1c

A blood test of average blood sugar over the past two to three months, given as a percentage or in mmol/mol. 6.5% (48 mmol/mol) or more is the usual threshold for diabetes, normally confirmed by a second test.

Platelets

Blood cells that help blood clot. Too few raises the risk of bleeding and bruising. A usual adult range is about 150–400 × 10⁹/L (150,000–400,000 per µL); each lab has its own reference range.
