FLEX Vessel Prep Prior to the Treatment of Obstructive Lesions in the Native Arteriovenous Dialysis Fistulae
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating FLEX Vessel Prep System and Angioplasty for Arteriovenous Fistula Stenosis. Completed, enrolled 75 participants across 7 sites.
Detailed Summary
A prospective, multi-center, randomized observational post-market study evaluating the FLEX Vessel Prep device plus percutaneous angioplasty (PTA) vs PTA alone for the treatment of obstructive lesions in the native arteriovenous dialysis fistulae.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
The FLEX Vessel Prep System™ is an over-the-wire sheathed catheter with a three-strut treatment element near the distal tip. As the device is pulled back in a retrograde fashion through the target lesion, the Treatment Element "flexes" providing continuous engagement along the lesion to create controlled depth micro-incisions.
The brand and type of PTA balloon(s) used will be at the discretion of the treating physician and used according to its Instructions for Use (IFU). PTA balloons consist of an over-the-wire catheter with a balloon fixed at the distal tip. Within the lesion the balloon is inflated to a pressure that allows full effacement.
