Hand ischaemia risk after creating an arteriovenous fistula

Official title: Study of the Risk of Ischaemia Following the Creation of an Arteriovenous Fistula

Run by GCS Ramsay Santé pour l'Enseignement et la Recherche · NCT06297343 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study will see how often and why adults with stage 5 chronic kidney disease develop short- or medium-term hand ischaemia after an arteriovenous fistula is created.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults aged 18 or older with stage 5 chronic kidney disease (on dialysis or not) who are scheduled for an arteriovenous fistula at the study centre and can attend the required follow-up visits and provide informed non-opposition.

Probably not a fit

Patients with contraindications to the planned surgery, limited life expectancy, concurrent medical or surgical interventions, pregnancy or breastfeeding, inability to attend follow-up visits, or current participation in another clinical trial are unlikely to benefit from participation.

What this trial studies

This is a prospective, non-interventional, single-centre descriptive study enrolling adult patients with stage 5 chronic kidney disease who are scheduled for an arteriovenous fistula at Hôpital Privé des Peupliers. Routine clinical and vascular function data will be collected before surgery and at 1, 6, and 12 months after the procedure to identify functional vascular changes and clinical factors linked to short- and medium-term hand ischaemia. No experimental treatment, randomisation, or comparator is used and all care follows standard practice. The aim is to characterise the frequency, timing, and predictors of access-related hand ischaemia to inform future risk stratification and management.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the findings could help clinicians predict which patients are at higher risk of hand ischaemia after fistula creation and improve pre-operative counselling and monitoring.

How similar studies have gone: Other observational studies have described access-related hand ischaemia and some associated risk factors, but prediction remains imperfect and additional single-centre datasets are common.
