A multicenter randomized clinical trial of paclitaxel drug-eluting balloon (DEB) versus standard percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) to reduce restenosis in 150 patients with haemodialysis access stenoses.
Prospective multicenter randomized (1:1) Investigator Sponsored Trial, in which 150 consecutive patients candidates for percutaneous intervention of haemodialysis access will be randomly assigned to one of two study arms: 1. Treatment Arm: paclitaxel drug-eluting balloon (DEB) dilatation using the APERTO-balloon 2. Control Arm: standard percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA). The aim is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of paclitaxel drug-eluting balloon (DEB) for the reduction of restenosis in haemodialysis shunts compared to standard percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA).
