This is a single-center, prospective, single-arm clinical study to evaluate the feasibility, safety, and performance of VenoStent's SelfWrap® Bioabsorbable Perivascular Wrap on arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs). All participants are chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients already receiving hemodialysis treatments that are referred for creation of a new arteriovenous fistula (AVF).

SelfWrap is applied during the normal arteriovenous fistula (AVF) creation procedure. It provides mechanical support to the vein and induces outward remodeling to improve maturation and patency of AVFs.

Primary Patency
Proportion of participants with a created AVF that is not abandoned nor occluded and is free from access thrombosis as well as any intervention required to facilitate, maintain, or reestablish patency (e.g. angioplasty), through 6 months
Time frame: Through 6 months post-AVF creation
Cumulative Patency
Proportion of participants with a created AVF that is not abandoned or occluded, through 6 months
Time frame: Through 6 months post-AVF creation
Freedom from Device-Related Safety Events
Proportion of participants with freedom from device-related infection, thrombosis, aneurysm, pseudoaneurysm, major bleeding, and rehospitalizations
Time frame: Through 6 months post-AVF creation
Primary Patency
Proportion of participants with a created AVF that is not abandoned nor occluded and is free from access thrombosis as well as any intervention required to facilitate, maintain, or reestablish patency (e.g. angioplasty), through 1, 2, 3, and 12 months
Time frame: Through 1, 2, 3, 12, 18, and 24 months post-AVF creation
Cumulative Patency
Proportion of participants with a created AVF that is not abandoned or occluded, through 1, 2, 3, and 12 months
Time frame: Through 1, 2, 3, 12, 18, and 24 months post-AVF creation
Number of Interventions
Time frame: Through 1, 2, 3, 6, 12, 18, and 24 months post-AVF creation
Unassisted Physiological Maturation
A created AVF with a proximal arterial flow rate ≥ 500 mL/min and a vein inner diameter ≥ 4.0 mm near the cannulation site, in absence of intervention(s) to initially establish this flow rate and vein size
Time frame: 1, 2, 3, and 6 months post-AVF creation
Freedom from Device-Related Safety Events
Proportion of participants with freedom from device-related infection, thrombosis, aneurysm, pseudoaneurysm, major bleeding, and rehospitalizations
Time frame: Through 1, 2, 3, 12, 18, and 24 months post-AVF creation
