Brief summary

Title :

Paclitaxel assisted balloon Angioplasty of Venous stenosis in haEmodialysis access (PAVE); A double-blind randomised controlled clinical trial to determine the efficacy of paclitaxel-assisted balloon angioplasty of venous stenoses in haemodialysis access

Purpose of clinical trial :

Randomised Controlled Trial  to assess the efficacy of additional paclitaxel-coated balloon fistuloplasty compared to plain balloon fistuloplasty only to preserve the patency of arteriovenous fistulae used for haemodialysis.

Number of patients : 211

Primary endpoints

The primary endpoint is time to end of target lesion primary patency (TLPP).

Angiographically determined late lumen loss

The rate of binary angiographic re-stenosis
