VENOS-1: Early Feasibility of the Velocity™ Percutaneous pAVF System
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
An early feasibility study of the the initial safety and efficacy of the Velocity Percutaneous Arterio-Venous Fistula (pAVF) System when used to percutaneously create an arteriovenous fistula in patients with ESRD requiring hemodialysis vascular access.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Procedural Success [Immediate]
Defined as Velocity deployment and delivery system withdrawal with intraprocedural duplex ultrasound demonstrating arterialized flow in the cephalic vein 2 cm central from the pAVF anastomosis
- Serious Adverse Device Events [6 weeks]
Defined as any Serious Adverse Event that reasonably suggests is caused by the device or procedure.
- Major Reintervention [6 weeks]
Defined as any open surgery, thrombectomy or thrombolysis in the index limb following pAVF creation.
Eligibility Criteria
Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:

Age 18 years or older
-
Diagnosed with ESRD and currently on hemodialysis for less than 12 months using a central venous catheter for access
-
Eligible for a native surgical brachiocephalic arteriovenous fistula following assessment by the principal investigator and study sponsor
-
Cubital perforating vein diameter of > 2.5 mm and length > 10.0 mm
-
Proximal radial artery diameter ≥ 2.0 mm
-
Patient is free of clinically significant conditions or illness within 30 days prior to the AV fistula that may compromise the procedure

Patients with occlusion of the ulnar or radial artery at any level or an abnormal Allen's test
-
Any previous dialysis vascular access procedures in the study extremity
-
History of steal syndrome (hand ischemia) from a previous hemodialysis vascular access of the non-study extremity which required intervention or access abandonment
-
Upper extremity venous occlusion(s) and/or vessel abnormality(ies) of the study extremity that precludes endovascular AVF creation as determined by principal investigator or study sponsor
