Objectives

Narrative objectives1

In percutaneous transluminal angioplasty for stenosis of autogenous arteriovenous fistulas used for hemodialysis, the relationship between balloon inflation duration and postprocedural patency has not been fully established. This study aims to randomly compare balloon inflation durations of 30 and 180 seconds and to conduct an exploratory evaluation of the time to reintervention or thrombotic occlusion within 180 days after treatment, as well as procedural outcomes and safety.

Key secondary outcomes

The time to reintervention or thrombotic occlusion within 90 days after treatment.
The time to reintervention or thrombotic occlusion within 365 days after treatment.
Technical success at the end of the procedure, defined as residual stenosis of less than 30%; clinical success; and percentage residual stenosis
Adverse events, including dissection, vessel rupture, hematoma, puncture-site complications, and vascular access loss.
Time to target lesion revascularization (TLR) and time to thrombosis of the treated zone through 180 days after treatment
Proportion of lesions with persistent balloon waist, time to complete disappearance of the balloon waist, and inflation pressure at waist disappearance during the initial balloon inflation
Procedure time, fluoroscopy time, hemostasis time after sheath removal, and volume of contrast medium used
Proportion of procedures requiring analgesic or sedative medication, and the type and dose of medication used
Changes in ultrasound parameters from immediately before the procedure to approximately 2 hours after the procedure, including minimum luminal diameter, peak systolic velocity (PSV), PSV ratio, vascular access flow volume (Qa), and resistance index (RI)

Incidence and type of adverse events, including vascular dissection, vessel rupture, hematoma, puncture-site complications, and loss of vascular access
Proportion of eligible procedures for which informed consent for study participation is obtained
Completion rate of the assigned balloon inflation duration, proportion of procedures requiring shortening or discontinuation of the assigned inflation, and reasons for shortening or discontinuation
Completion rate of 180-day follow-up, proportion of missing data, and reasons for censoring or incomplete follow-up

Maneuver

Interventions/Control_1

Balloon angioplasty is performed for stenosis of a hemodialysis arteriovenous fistula. Balloon inflation is maintained for 30 seconds after complete disappearance of the balloon waist. If no waist is observed, inflation is maintained for 30 seconds after the prespecified inflation pressure is reached.

Interventions/Control_2

Balloon angioplasty is performed for stenosis of a hemodialysis arteriovenous fistula. Balloon inflation is maintained for 180 seconds after complete disappearance of the balloon waist. If no waist is observed, inflation is maintained for 180 seconds after the prespecified inflation pressure is reached.

Key inclusion criteria

1. Adult patients receiving maintenance hemodialysis
2. Patients with an autogenous arteriovenous fistula (AVF)
3. Patients with suspected clinical vascular access dysfunction and stenosis within the vascular access circuit for which percutaneous transluminal angioplasty is considered appropriate by an interventional radiologist
4. Patients who provide written informed consent to participate in the study

Key exclusion criteria

1. Thrombotic occlusion requiring thrombectomy, thrombolysis, or another thrombus-removal procedure
2. Stenosis or occlusion involving the axillary vein or more central veins, including the subclavian vein, brachiocephalic vein, or superior vena cava
3. Patients for whom the operator determines that the use of a cutting balloon or drug-coated balloon is clinically required during the procedure
4. Patients considered unsuitable for participation by the principal investigator because of a severely impaired general condition or other reasons
