More Options for End Stage Kidney Disease (ESKD) Patients
Worldwide, 2 million people with ESKD receive hemodialysis therapy and require vascular access to connect their blood circulation to a dialysis machine. AV fistulas are the preferred approach to achieve vascular access and until recently, they have required an open surgical procedure for creation.
WavelinQ™ EndoAVF System is designed to create an endovascular AV fistula (endoAVF) for hemodialysis access in patients who have chronic kidney disease and need dialysis, using a completely endovascular approach in vessels that are not traditionally used during open surgery.
Patients must meet certain anatomical characteristics that support the use of the WavelinQ™ EndoAVF procedure. Patients should consult their physician to determine if they are a candidate for an endoAVF procedure.
