The Solaris DE Endoprosthesis for the Treatment of AV Access Stenosis or Occlusion (DEScover)
Venous Stenosis, Venous Occlusion, Chronic Renal Failure
About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Venous Stenosis
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria: The participant has a mature AV Fistula (AVF) or Graft (AVG) in the arm created ≥ 30 days before the initial procedure and is in use for dialysis therapy The participant has clinical and/or hemodynamic evidence of a venous outflow obstruction or AV fistula or graft dysfunction. The stenotic lesion is ≥ 50%, with a maximum length of 8 cm and a vessel diameter from 4.0 mm to 9.0 mm The participan provides written informed consent prior to any study-specific procedure The participan is willing to undergo all follow-up evaluations according to the specified schedule over 24 months Angiographic Inclusion Criteria: The target lesion originates ≥ 3 cm from the cannulation segment (needling zone) The target lesion is located: In one arm (including the cephalic arch) in a participant with AVF, and not in the cannulation segment, OR In the anastomosis or juxta-anastomosis in a participant with AVF (a juxta-anastomosis is defined as a location where the stent crosses the venous anastomosis) The target lesion includes a de novo stenotic lesion or restenosis The target lesion is ≥ 5 cm from the arterial anastomosis The target lesion has ≥ 50% stenosis according to the operator's visual judgment The reference vessel diameter of the target lesion is between 4.0 mm and 9.0 mm by the operator's visual judgment Single or multiple target lesions measuring ≤ 8 cm in total length by the operator's visual judgment Single or multiple target lesions should be covered by a single stent or multiple overlapping stents, provided they are treated as a single lesion with a maximum length of 8 cm Successful target lesion pre-dilatation is defined as crossover of the guidewir resulting in full expansion of the pre-dilatation balloon The participant has up to 1 (one) non-target lesion in the venous outflow circuit requiring intervention in the initial procedure. The non-target lesion must be at least 10 cm away from the target lesion. The non-target lesion can only be treated with standard PTA alone Does not have stent implanted or it has been in the access circuit for ≥ 30 days since placement and patent with ≤ 30% stenosis and located ≥ 5 cm from the target lesion The non-target lesion must be successfully treated at the time of the initial procedure (success measured as ≤30% residual stenosis and no complications). Exclusion Criteria: Pregnant, breastfeeding or with intention to become pregnant in the next year The participant has any major endovascular or surgical procedure planned (including in the access circuit) within 30 days of the initial procedure It was not possible to pre-dilate the lesion to be treated with Solaris DE Planned surgical revision of the access site Known or suspected infection of the hemodialysis access site, systemic infection and/or sepsis Patients on immunosuppressive therapy Known active coagulopathy or bleeding diathesis Known hypersensitivity to nickel titanium alloy, contrast or sirolimus Contraindication to antiplatelet, anticoagulant or thrombolytic therapies Known allergy to contrast agents or medications administered to perform endovascular intervention that cannot be adequately premedicated Life expectancy of less than 12 months Has a stent or endoprosthesis located anywhere in the AV access circuit that is not patent (> 30% stenosis) or implanted < 30 days The participant's hemodialysis access is expected to be abandoned within 6 months The participantis is enrolled in another trial involving an investigational product (pharmaceutical, biological or medical device) Angiographic Exclusion Criteria: The target lesion is located inside an endoprosthesis Target lesion treatment would involve the cannulation segment (needling zone) The target lesion is < 5 cm from the arterial anastomosis Evidence of an aneurysm, pseudoaneurysm or acute thrombus (i.e. one that has been treated ≤ 15 days) within the target lesion The target lesion is, and/or Solaris DE would be placed anywhere: Through the elbow In the cannulation segment (needling zone) Inside any part of a pre-existing stent or endoprosthesis (apart from an access arteriovenous graft) Lower extremity Non-synthetic graft The target lesion is located in such a way that the insertion of a stent would result in a "kink" area that requires a stent bridge between the Solaris DE and an existing stent or stent graft The individual has more than 1 (one) non-target lesion (≥ 50% stenosis) that requires intervention in the initial procedure
