WAVE Trial Summary

This trial is testing a new stent to treat blockages in the dialysis access outflow circuit. They want to see if it's safe and effective.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 who are on chronic hemodialysis with a life expectancy of at least one year. They must have an arm AVF or AVG and a specific type of blockage in their dialysis access site. Participants need to be willing to follow up and provide consent. Those with recent strokes, infections, heart issues, or pregnancy-related conditions can't join.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests the Merit WRAPSODY Endovascular Stent Graft's safety and effectiveness against venous stenosis or occlusion in dialysis outflow circuits compared to PTA (angioplasty). It aims to see if this graft can improve blood flow for dialysis patients.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While not specified here, endovascular stent grafts like the Merit WRAPSODY may cause side effects such as local pain, bleeding at the insertion site, infection risk increase, possible damage to blood vessels near the graft area.
