A Phase 1-2 Study of PRT-201 Administered in Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) Patients

Chronic Kidney Disease

PRT-201 is a protein that causes long lasting dilation of blood vessels when applied to the outside surface of the blood vessel. The purpose of this study is to determine if PRT-201, when applied to a limited segment of blood vessel immediately after surgery to create an arteriovenous fistula (AVF), is safe, dilates the blood vessel, and increases blood flow through the AVF.

Paravertebral Block With Brachial Plexus Block for Upper Arm Arteriovenous Fistula Surgery

Regional Anesthesia Success

The primary goal of this quality improvement project is to find the optimal surgical conditions for patients undergoing upper arm arteriovenous graft surgery. Currently, there are two anesthetic techniques used in clinical practice. The goal is to standardize future practice and improve the care of patients postoperatively. The two techniques used in conjunction with a brachial plexus block are paravertebral nerve block and subcutaneous infiltration.

Recurrent Stenoses in Arteriovenous Fistula (AVF) for Dialysis Access: CuttIng ballooN angioplaSTy...

Dialysis Access Malfunction

To determine if cutting balloon angioplasty combined with DEB angioplasty provides a higher primary patency after treatment of recurrent stenoses compared with cutting balloon angioplasty or angioplasty using DEB alone in the venous outflow AVFs. For cutting balloon angioplasty in venous stenosis, the primary patency after 12 months is 55-60% (9,16) and in recurrent stenoses up to 48%(10). We hypothesise that DEB angioplasty after cutting balloon angioplasty leads to improved primary patency at 12 months.

This study evaluates the addition of Pecs II block to ultrasound-guided supraclavicular brachial plexus block in patients undergoing arteriovenous graft creation surgery. Participants will be randomised into two equal groups, one receiving supraclavicular and pecs II blocks, the other receiving supraclavicular block and sham block (Grade 1).

Monitoring of Dialysis Vascular Accesses During Angioplasty Under Echodoppler

Arteriovenous Fistula Stenosis

Dialysis vascular accesses called arteriovenous fistulas ( AVF) are essential to ensure extra-renal purification by hemodialysis for patients with chronic end-stage renal disease. Complications of dialysis AVF cause significant morbidity and hospitalization. Dialysis AVF angioplasties are frequently used to treat stenosis, the 1st complication concerning them and which announces the complete thrombosis which may be the definitive loss of the AVF. Historically performed under X-ray, the progression in the quality of ultrasound scanners allows today to perform this procedure under echo-Doppler guidance and thus to avoid both radiation and the injection of iodinated contrast products and their complications. It is thus possible to preserve residual renal function, a situation with a better prognosis, or to help the maturation of the AVF without precipitating the patient towards dialysis. The procedure can then be less costly, requiring a much lighter infrastructure. The complication rates of ultrasound angioplasty remain poorly known because only a few series have been published. In addition, the evolution of the echo-Doppler parameters of the AVF is unknown during angioplasty and it is difficult to know which are the most reliable to distinguish during the procedure a "good angioplasty gesture" from an incomplete angioplasty to be continued. The proposed study would provide initial insight into the question posed.

Intraoperative Laser Speckle Contrast Imaging to Assess Blood Flow During Neurosurgery

AneurysmAVM4 more

Cerebral blood flow (CBF) is of paramount importance to human brain function, as the brain relies on a continuous blood supply to meet its energy needs. Blockage of a cerebral blood vessel during neurosurgery, even if transient and short-lived, may result in irreversible brain tissue damage (i.e. stroke) and loss of cortical function, if not identified quickly enough. Laser speckle contrast imaging (LSCI) has been demonstrated to provide the ability to visualize flow in vessels in real time and continuously without the need for contrast agents. In LSCI, the tissue of interest is illuminated with low power laser light at red or near infrared wavelengths and the light reflected from the tissue surface is imaged onto a camera. The resulting images are laser speckle patterns and a computer processes the images to produce speckle contrast images, which are images of the motion within the field of view (ie, blood flow). The purpose of this clinical investigation is to assess the usefulness and accuracy of LSCI compared to ICGA and/or FA during neurovascular surgery. LSCI videos will be recorded automatically intraoperatively in each patient before, during, and after ICGA and/or FA in the same surgical field of view to guarantee comparability of the methods.

Chronic Kidney DiseasesHemodialysis3 more

The aims of this study are to: Determine the AVF (arteriovenous fistula) survival of patients submitted to MuST compared to those submitted to RL (rope-ladder). Determine the AVF (arteriovenous fistula) complication rate of patients submitted to MuST compared to those submitted to RL (rope-ladder). Analyze the intensity of pain perceived by the patient with each cannulation technique under study.

Coronal Mode Ultrasound Guided Hemodialysis Cannulation: Comparison With Standard Cannulation Technique...

Arteriovenous FistulaCannulation

Infiltrations from cannulation difficulties result in significant morbidity including loss of vascular access (VA) loss in hemodialysis (HD). Cannulation is reliant on personnel skill and VA characteristics. Surface marking of VA lacks real-time information and traditional ultrasound (US) devices are large, expensive and require skilled operator expertise. Sonic Window© (Analogic Ultrasound, Peabody, MA) is a coronal mode ultrasound device (CMUD) approved for VA cannulation. Study is a single center randomized, prospective pilot study comparing handheld US-guided cannulation of new arteriovenous fistula (AVF) to standard cannulation practices.

Optimal Timing of Percutaneous Intervention in Non-maturing Dialysis Fistulas

Immature Arteriovenous Fistula

Arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) are the preferred type of vascular access for dialysis, but many of them fail to mature. The optimal timing of intervention to salvage immature AVFs is unknown.The study proposes a randomized clinical trial comparing the clinical and economic impact of early vs late angioplasty in non-maturing AVFs. The study proposes a RCT to test the hypothesis that, as compared to early angioplasty of non-maturing AVFs, late angioplasty results in a lower proportion of AVFs being used at 6 months, but a greater long-term AVF patency , lower requirement of subsequent interventions to maintain AVF patency for dialysis, and lower overall cost of access maintenance.
