Experimental: Interventional Arm |
Device: Velocity pAVF system
A second generation percutaneous AVF device that creates an AVF between the proximal radial artery and cubital perforating vein. |
- Procedural Success [ Time Frame: Immediate ]Defined as Velocity deployment and delivery system withdrawal with intraprocedural duplex ultrasound demonstrating arterialized flow in the cephalic vein 2 cm central from the pAVF anastomosis
- Serious Adverse Device Events [ Time Frame: 6 weeks ]Defined as any Serious Adverse Event that reasonably suggests is caused by the device or procedure.
- Major Reintervention [ Time Frame: 6 weeks ]Defined as any open surgery, thrombectomy or thrombolysis in the index limb following pAVF creation.
