DRECOREST2: Drug-eluting Balloon vs. Conventional Balloon in the Treatment of (re)Stenosis (Dialysis Fistulae)
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the use of drug-eluting balloons is effective in the treatment of (re)stenosis in dialysis fistulae.

Detailed Description
Drug-eluting devices have proved beneficial in the treatment of stenosis in native coronary and lower limb arteries. Stenosis and restenosis is a known problem in dialysis fistulae and drug-eluting devices might be beneficial in this field as well.
In the procedure a conventional balloon is passed through the stenosis which is then dilated. After this patients are randomized before a second dilatation with either a conventional balloon or a drug-coated balloon.
The stenosis is evaluated preoperatively and followed up by means of ultrasound by a vascular technician. Follow-up will end at 12 months.
