Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 to 85 with chronic renal failure who are awaiting a kidney transplant but have vascular anatomical constraints.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with contraindications to kidney transplantation unrelated to vascular issues, such as severe cardiovascular disease or uncontrolled infections, may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This national feasibility study aims to validate the endovascular preparation of the iliac axis for patients requiring a custom endoprosthesis prior to kidney transplantation. It focuses on individuals with chronic renal failure who face vascular contraindications that hinder their ability to receive a transplant. By assessing the safety and effectiveness of this approach, the study seeks to improve patient outcomes and reduce healthcare costs associated with hemodialysis. The observational nature of the study allows for a comprehensive evaluation of existing patient data.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could enable more patients to access kidney transplants, significantly improving their quality of life and survival rates.
How similar studies have gone: While this approach is innovative, similar studies have not been widely reported, indicating that this may be a novel exploration in the field.
