Key information

About this study

First-In-Man Single Site study to assess safety and efficacy of ultra-high pressure PTA balloon called ULTRAVIOLET UHP PTA in treating resistant stenotic lesions in arterio-venous fistula of dialysis patients.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Patients able to understand the purpose of the study, voluntarily agree to participate and signed Informed Consent form
  • Patients with impaired haemodialysis access due to narrowed lesions, as indicated by contrast or ultrasound or clinical diagnosis.
  • Indications for percutaneous endovascular therapy with diameter stenosis >50% and fistula's hemodynamic showing abnormalities (thrombosis in the AVF, high venous pressure, re-circulation, abnormal physical examination, decrease in dialysis efficiency, decrease in blood flow through the vascular access)
  • Target lesion is a resistant de novo or restenotic lesion
  • The target lesion is located in the reflux vein from the anastomotic site of arteriovenous fistula (AVF) to the distal end of the subclavian vein (excluding the anastomotic site of AVF); if there are no target lesions, they should be treated with standard angioplasty balloon before treating the target lesion.

Exclusion criteria

  • Female of childbearing potential, unless a recent pregnancy test is negative, who possibly plan to become pregnant any time after enrolment into this study;
  • Patients who are actively participating in another drug or device investigational study, who have not completed the primary endpoint follow-up period;
  • Patients who have undergone major surgical procedures (such as open chest surgery, head surgery) within 30 days before being enrolled in the study;
  • Patients who plan to undergo major surgical procedures (such as open chest surgery, head surgery) within 30 days after being enrolled in the study;
  • Immature AVF (not used for dialysis; due to insufficient inner diameter, inability to ensure successful puncture, and inadequate blood flow, this access has not been used for successful dialysis);
  • AVF has been implanted with a stent.

Treatment and study plan

PTA balloon

Device

Angioplasty of a resistant stenotic lesion in the arterio-venous fistula

Primary outcomes

  1. Technical Success

    Time frame: At the end of the procedure (up to 40 minutes)

    Ability to cross the lesion and fully efface the balloon, leaving no residual stenosis (<30%) evaluated by fistulography

  2. Freedom from procedure-related complications after 1 month

    Time frame: 1 month

    freedom from adverse events related to the procedure in 1 month follow up period

Secondary outcomes

  1. Acute Device Success

    Time frame: At the end of the procedure (up to 40 minutes)

    successful delivery, balloon inflation, deflation, and retrieval of the intact study device without burst below rated burst pressure

  2. Clinical Success

    Time frame: At the end of the procedure (up to 40 minutes)

    after intervention, the function of hemodialysis access is improved, dialysis function is restored, and at least one complete dialysis session has been completed

  3. Procedural Surgery success

    Time frame: At the end of hospitalization (assessed up to 5 days)

    Once technical success has been achieved, no major adverse events (MAE) occurred during the procedure or hospitalization, including death, stroke, thrombosis, allergic reactions, or pulmonary disease

  4. Target Lesion Primary Patency

    Time frame: 1 month

    Primary patency rate refers to the peak systolic velocity ratio (PSVR) measured by Doppler ultrasound (DUS) ≤ 2.0, which confirms the absence of restenosis and does not require clinically driven target lesion revascularization (CD-TLR)

  5. Freedom from target lesion revascularization

    Time frame: 1 month

    Clinical symptoms and dialysis indicators indicate that dialysis cannot be successfully performed, and the target lesion location (confirmed by Doppler ultrasound) +/-5 mm proximal/distal requires re-intervention surgery

  6. Major Adverse Events (MAE)

    Time frame: 1 month

    Occurrence of major adverse events (MAE)

  7. Dialysis Circuit Patency

    Time frame: 1 month

    Patency of the whole patency circuit evaluated at Doppler Ultra-Sound (DUS)
