Study Summary
This trial will look at the safety and effectiveness of a stent to treat narrowed blood vessels in the upper extremities of people with AV access.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 21 with arteriovenous fistulas in the upper extremity used for dialysis, who've had at least one successful session. Participants must have a vein size of 5.0-9.0mm and a stenosis ≥50% causing dysfunction. Exclusions include lower extremity AV access, allergies to certain metals or contrast media, recent thrombosis treatment, uncontrolled infections or bleeding disorders.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study aims to gather safety and effectiveness data on the COVERA Vascular Covered Stent when treating narrowed blood vessels in venous outflow from arteriovenous (AV) access circuits in patients undergoing hemodialysis.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include local reactions at the stent placement site, issues related to blood flow changes due to the stent's presence, allergic reactions if sensitivity to stent materials exists, and complications from obstructing necessary vessel areas.

Eligibility Criteria:
This trial includes the following eligibility criteria:- My dialysis access is in my leg.I have untreated narrow veins far from the main problem area.The area to be studied is inside a stent.My target lesion's related blood clot was treated within the last week.The place where the target lesion is located would need the COVERA™ Vascular Covered Stent to be placed where the dialysis needle goes in.I have a working AV fistula in my arm that has been used for dialysis.I have an infection in my AV fistula or another uncontrolled infection.I am at least 21 years old, not pregnant (if female), and expected to live long enough to complete the study.My heart's blocked artery didn't fully open during a balloon procedure.The nearby vein must be between 5.0 and 9.0mm wide.My treatment needs a stent in a central vein or under my collarbone.My target lesion has an aneurysm or pseudoaneurysm.I have a bleeding or blood clotting disorder that is not under control.The area of concern should be no larger than 9 centimeters. It's important to note that there could be more than one narrow area within the main area of concern.You are undergoing dialysis using an AV graft.The target lesion is located in a place that would need a special kind of stent that goes across the elbow joint.I have a blockage in my vein of 50% or more, affecting my AV fistula's function.
