Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 and older with end-stage renal disease requiring hemodialysis and viable options for arterial venous access.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who are not candidates for dialysis access or those with known sensitivities to the graft processing reagents may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This observational registry aims to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Nexeon AVX Decellularized Femoral Artery allograft in creating vascular access for hemodialysis in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Participants will be monitored post-graft placement to assess outcomes related to dialysis access. The study includes adults aged 18 and older who require dialysis access and can provide informed consent. The registry will collect data on patient experiences and graft performance over time.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could improve vascular access options for patients with ESRD, enhancing their quality of life and treatment outcomes.
How similar studies have gone: While this specific approach is novel, similar studies involving vascular grafts have shown promising results in improving dialysis access.

Have the ability themselves, or through their legal guardian, to understand the requirements of the study, to provide written informed consent/assent as evidenced by signature on an informed consent form (ICF) approved by an institutional review board (IRB), and to agree to abide by the study restrictions and return to the site for the required assessments 5. Have provided written authorization for use and disclosure of protected health information Exclusion Criteria: 1. Be participating in a study of another investigational drug or device 2. Have a known sensitivity to any of the processing reagents utilized in the manufacture of this product such as antibiotics (Lincomycin, Polymyxin B, Ciprofloxacin, Meropenum, Gentamicin, or Vancomycin) and processing reagents (N-lauroyl sarcosine, Denarase and glycerol/glycerin) 3.
