Ellipsys Fistula for Hemodialysis Access

Ellipsys Percutaneous Arteriovenous Fistula for Hemodialysis Access

To report the outcomes of patients having percutaneous proximal radial artery fistula creation.

The study would like to enroll up to 100 patients without age, gender-based, race and ethnicity enrollment restrictions for adults over 18 years of age. Women of child bearing potential are not excluded. If a pregnant patient required, an arteriovenous fistula for hemodialysis an Ellipsys® fistula would be an option.
