Comparing two methods for treating blood clots in arteriovenous fistulas

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This multicentric clinical trial aims to compare the incidence of pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) in patients undergoing endovascular treatment for acute thrombosis in native and prosthetic arteriovenous fistulas (AVF) using either balloon thrombectomy or thromboaspiration systems. The study will assess the differences in PTE incidence, primary patency rates, clinical success rates, and associated costs of the two treatment methods. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive one of the two interventions, and their outcomes will be monitored through AngioCT imaging. The trial seeks to provide insights into the most effective treatment approach for this condition.
