      MR. JAMES GILBERT

      Principal Investigator

      Consultant Transplant & Access Surgeon

      Oxford University Hospitals (United Kingdom)

      DESIGN PURPOSE SUBJECT POPULATION PRIMARY STUDY OBJECTIVES FOLLOW-UP
      • Prospective
      • 3 Centre
      • Single arm
      Safety & effectiveness of WRAPSODY in treatment of stenosis or occlusion within dialysis access circuit 46 Haemodiaylsis patients
      • AV fistula (AVF)
      • AV graft (AVG)

      Clinical relevant stenosis or obstruction (≥ 50%) without additional thrombus or 2° lesions

      Safety: Proportion without any localised or systemic safety events through 30 days affecting the access or venous outflow circuit and resulted in surgery, hospitalisation, or death

      Effectiveness: Proportion with TLPP at 30 days

      30 Days, 3 Months, 6 Months & 12 Months

      Independent DMC/CEC adjudicated
      • Reinterventions
      • device/procedure-relatedness for adverse events

      CONCLUSIONS1

      • “Study device can safely and effectively treat stenoses in the peripheral outflow and central veins of AV access circuits.”
      • “6- and 12-month TLPP and ACPP rates were unexpectedly high.”
      • “While needing further confirmation, the study device’s design may be a contributing factor in limiting restenosis.”
      • “This degree of patency preservation should reduce revision frequency and access abandonment rates, leading to less hospitalisation and lower healthcare costs.”
      • “Additional follow-up in larger RCTs is needed to verify these results.”
