Endovascular Proximal Forearm Arteriovenous Fistula for Hemodialysis Access: Results of the Prospective, Multicenter Novel Endovascular Access Trial (NEAT)

A prospective, single-arm, multicenter study (Novel Endovascular Access Trial [NEAT]) to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a catheter-based endovascular technology and radiofrequency energy to create an anastomosis between target vessels, resulting in an endovascular AVF (endoAVF).

Comparison of Post-Creation Procedures and Costs Between Surgical and an Endovascular Approach to Arteriovenous Fistula Creation

This study compared AVF post-creation procedures and their associated costs in patients with SAVF to patients with a new endovascularly created AVF (endoAVF).

Percutaneous Creation of an Arteriovenous Fistula for Hemodialysis Access

This study investigated the feasibility of creating fistulae with an endovascular system and evaluated the utility of endovascular AVFs (endoAVFs) in providing hemodialysis access.

Endovascular Creation of an Arteriovenous Fistula (endoAVF) for Hemodialysis Access: First Results

An endovascular approach for upper arm fistula creation (endoAVF) has been developed, which may be an alternative to open surgery. We describe a case series of eight cases showing feasibility, early complications and outcome of this novel treatment option.

everlinQ endoAVF System

The everlinQ endoAVF System is designed to create an AVF for hemodialysis access using an endovascular approach. In the procedure, two flexible magnetic catheters are inserted into an artery and vein in the arm. A small amount of radiofrequency energy is used to connect the artery and vein to create the fistula. The catheters are then removed and a brachial vein is coil-embolized, enabling future dialysis.

Why to use it

The potential benefits of endoAVF are as follows: 1) avoids open surgery and scarring, 2) requires few interventions to maintain patency, 3) provides additional anatomic options for fistula creation, and 4) preserves options for future surgical AVF.

Instructions for use

The everlinQ and everlinQ 4 endoAVF Systems have been issued European CE Mark and Health Canada Medical Device License for the creation of an arteriovenous fistula for hemodialysis and are not approved for sale in the United States.
