Active clinical trials for "Fistula"

This prospective, multicenter, randomized, controlled study is designed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Tri-wire Peripheral Balloon Dilatation Catheter compared to a standard PTA Catheter in treating subjects presenting with clinical and hemodynamic abnormalities in native arteriovenous (AV) fistulae located in the upper extremity.

This is a two stage, prospective, multi-center study to evaluate the EchoMark and EchoSure devices in patients undergoing peripheral arteriovenous fistula creation for hemodialysis access.

Gastrointestinal (GI) fistula is a complex condition with high mortality and requiring a multidisciplinary management. The aim of this study is to exploit the regenerative-tissue capacities of autologous emulsified adipose tissue-derived stromal vascular fraction (tSVFem, widely used in other medical fields - like plastic surgery -for different purposes) harvested and delivered locally by endoscopy to close the GI fistula. The proposed technique for the treatment of GI fistulas with tSVFem requires a minimal, inexpensive, easily reproducible mechanical manipulation of autologous adipose tissue without necessity of any enzymatic digestion or cell expansion.

DeVA is a single blinded, prospective, multicentre RCT designed to determine the safety and effectiveness of a drug eluting angioplasty balloon compared with a standard angioplasty balloon in patients with symptomatic native AV fistula stenosis.

The investigators designed a prospective randomized study to compare the conventionally used sedative drug propofol with a latest alternative dexmedetomidine (DEX), in patients with end-stage renal disease undergoing arteriovenous fistula (AVF) surgery.

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate, in patients treated with adalimumab, the efficacy of proctological surgery in anoperineal fistula healing after the removal of seton drain.

This is an open follow-up clinical trial to evaluate a sustained efficacy and safety of ANTG-ASC injection for 4 months (6 months after final dose injection) after Phase II clinical trial.

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of the use of NMB's percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) Balloon.

The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of DSA guided percutaneous balloon dilatation, ultrasound guided percutaneous balloon dilatation and surgical repair in the treatment of Stenosis of Arteria-Venous Fistula in Maintenance Hemodialysis Patients.

Patients with end-stage renal failure require dialysis to remove toxins from their blood. Haemodialysis is best provided through a native arterio-venous fistula (AVF). Creation of an AVF requires a short (~1hr) surgical procedure to join the artery and vein together. There are limited potential sites for fistula creation. Generally it is preferrable to utilise the most distal sites at the wrist first, as more proximal elbow procedures preclude subsequent use of the wrist should the initial fistula fail. The small diameter of artery and vein at the wrist requires precise surgical technique. There are two potential techniques in common use for creating the arterio-venous anastomosis (the join between artery and vein) - continuous suturing and interrupted sutures. Whilst there are theoretical advantages to the interrupted technique, it is uncertain if these translate clinically into better success of creating the fistula. The aim of this study is therefore to compare the clinical success of the two techniques.
