Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to analyze and identify pre-, intra-, and post- operative parameters that predict Steal-Syndrome with distal malperfusion after Arterio-Venous Fistulas (AVF) as primary endpoint. Secondary endpoints are pre-, intra-, and post- operative parameters that predict patency and fistula maturation.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is a prospective study where the research team will acquire data from the patients after they have signed the informed consent form. Data will be collected before, during and after the Arterio-Venous Fistula(AVF)placement, and during follow-up at predefined time intervals:Pre-Operative, Intra-operative, Post-operative, 5-10 days, 4-6 Weeks, 6 Months, and 1 year. These parameters include Digital Brachial Index (DBI) (assessed by Doppler derived brachial artery blood pressure/ photoplethysmographically derived finger blood pressure), flow and pulsatility measurements (derived by duplex ultrasound and pulse volume recording). Assessment of flow and pulsatility will be performed in the artery proximal and distal to the AVF, as well as in the venous outflow. In addition, Demographic parameters and patient comorbidities will be acquired and procedure specific parameters (e.g. location of the fistula) will be documented. During each follow up, clinical evaluation for Steal-Syndrome will be conducted. Steal-Syndrome was defined according to the guidelines of the Society of Vascular Surgery (SVS): Asymptomatic (pulse deficits, doppler signal attenuation, and distal flow reversal) Mild Ischemia: slight coldness and numbness that occurs only during dialysis, may be self-limited, and may resosolve without treatment, and Severe Ischemia: Can be permanent and may be associated with constant pain, severe numbness, digital cyanosis or gangrene, finger contracture, or amputation of a digit hand or forearm. The necessity for and type of re-intervention at the AVF will be documented. Acquisition of data will in no way change the standard of care used in these patients / operations.

Data analysis will be performed after enrolment of 100, 250 and 500 patients.
