Surveillance and Proactive Intervention for Dialysis Access

A Multi Centre Randomized Controlled Trial of the Clinical and Cost Effectiveness of Duplex Ultrasound Surveillance With Proactive Intervention Versus no Surveillance and Reactive Intervention for the Management of Stenosis in Arterio-venous Fistulae for Dialysis Vascular Access.

• Status: Withdrawn
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 0 (actual)
• Sponsor: University of Hull · Academic / Other
• Sex: All
• Age: 18 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Not accepted

Summary

Newly formed dialysis fistulae can often fail, and failure is usually due to narrowing of the blood vessels. Methods of detecting narrowing are available and, more importantly, can detect narrowings before a fistula fails. It is not known whether treating these narrowings will actually improve fistula survival or if the majority can be left alone. we wish to see if we can detect such narrowings with ultrasound scanning and if early detection and treatment improves patient outcomes.

Conditions

• Renal Failure
• Arteriovenous Fistula

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	Active ultrasound surveillance of fistula and proactive treatment of stenosis	Regular duplex ultrasound assessment of fistula from time of creation until 6 months post procedure with referral of all haemodynamically significant stenoses to further imaging and treatment
