2. Subject is currently scheduled to undergo an endovascular intervention of arteriovenous fistula or graft due to clinical and hemodynamic abnormalities meeting the KDOQI Guidelines for AV access dysfunction:

   • Elevated venous pressure during hemodialysis,
   • Abnormal physical findings, and
   • Unexplained decrease in delivered dialysis dose.

3. Subject has a reasonable expectation of remaining on hemodialysis for ≥12 months.

4. Subject is legally competent, informed of the study, voluntarily agrees to participate, and signs the informed consent form.

5. Subject understands the study and is willing and able to comply with the follow-up requirements.

Exclusion Criteria:
