About this trial
This study is a single site, prospective, single arm evaluation of the safety and effectiveness of the Healionics STARgraft (10401) hemodialysis access graft.
The study is enrolling patients with End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) requiring hemodialysis via a prosthetic vascular graft. The study proposes to evaluate the performance of the investigational STARgraft (10401) compared to the ePTFE controls in a prior study (NCT03916731) and to published results, over a period of 6 months. Additional data out to 36 months post-implantation may be captured.

Treatments tested in this trial
STARgraft (10401)
DeviceParticipants will be implanted with 6mm diameter STARgraft (10401) grafts as an upper arm Brachial Artery to Axillary Vein shunt for hemodialysis access.
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Effectiveness - Primary unassisted patency
Primary unassisted patency, defined as the percentage of grafts retaining adequate flow for dialysis without requiring any surgical or endovascular procedure to maintain or re-establish its function.
Safety - Serious Device Related Adverse Events
Incidence of serious device-related adverse events.
Secondary outcomes
Primary unassisted patency
Primary unassisted patency, defined as the percentage of grafts retaining adequate flow for dialysis without requiring any surgical or endovascular procedure to maintain or re-establish its function.
Assisted primary patency
Measured as the percentage of patients retaining assisted primary patency at the timepoints. Assisted primary patency begins when an access requires surgical or endovascular interventions designed to maintain the functionality of a patent access and ends at the first occlusion (thrombosis).
Incidence of graft infections
Incidence of serious device-related adverse events
Other outcomes
Flow rate in graft (ultrasound)
Peak Systolic Velocity Ratio at venous anastomosis (ultrasound)
Pulsatility index (ultrasound) in graft and in outflow vein
