Effectiveness Endpoint: Number of Participants With Target Lesion Primary Patency (TLPP)
Query!
Assessment method [1]
0
0
TLPP is defined as the interval following the index intervention until the next clinically driven reintervention at, or adjacent to,the original treatment site or until the extremity is abandoned for permanent access. Primary patency ends when any of the following occurs: a) clinically driven reintervention in the treatment area; b) thrombotic occlusion within the treatment area; c) surgical intervention that excludes the original treatment area from the AV circuit, and/or d) abandonment of the AV fistula due to inability to treat the original treatment area. COVERA Vascular Covered Stent (following PTA) is evaluated against subjects treated PTA alone.

Assessment method [2]
0
0
ACPP is defined as the interval following the index intervention until the next access thrombosis or repeated intervention.
ACPP ends with a reintervention anywhere within the access circuit. Vessel rupture caused by PTA is not an ACPP failure unless achieving hemostasis also causes thrombosis.
Testing of this secondary endpoint is performed in a hierarchical fashion. Thus, In order to perform hypothesis test of ACPP at 6-month, TLPP at 12-months must be successful.

Index of Patency Function (IPF)
Query!
Assessment method [8]
0
0
IPF is defined as the time from the index study procedure to study completion or access abandonment divided by the number of visits for a reintervention performed on the AV access circuit in order to maintain vascular access for hemodialysis. A visit is defined as one (1) procedural event, regardless of the number or type of interventions performed during the visit. The index procedure is counted as the first visit to ensure all subjects have a denominator of at least one.
Whereas the measure time frames for the overall study are 1, 3, 6, 12,18 and 24 months.
The IPF is representative of the number of days between interventions to maintain access circuit patency. Higher values represent a better outcome, that is, more time elapsed between the Index study procedure and reinterventions.
mITT results are analyzed.

IPF-T (Index of Patency Function - Target Lesion) is defined as the time from the index study procedure to study completion or complete access abandonment divided by the number of visits for a reintervention performed at the target lesion in order to maintain vascular access for hemodialysis.
Whereas the measure time frames for the overall study are 1, 3, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months.
The IPF for target lesion patency is representative of the approximate (mean) number of days between interventions to maintain target lesion patency. Higher values represent a better outcome, that is, more time elapsed between the Index study procedure and reinterventions.

Technical Success is defined as successful deployment, based on the operator's opinion, of the implant to the intended location assessed at the time of the index procedure. Therefore, for this measure, only COVERA data are relevant.
mITT results are presented. Number of participants (n) included in this analysis is different from overall enrollment (N) as some subjects discontinued participation before the 30 days, 90 days and 6 months follow-up or did not meet endpoint inclusion criteria.
Technical success was assessed on the day the index procedure was performed, which may be a different day for each participant.

Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
Clinical
* Subject must voluntarily sign and date the Informed Consent Form (ICF) prior to collection of study data or performance of study procedures.

* Subject must be willing to comply with the protocol requirements, including the clinical and telephone follow-up.
* Subject must have an upper extremity arteriovenous (AV) fistula that has undergone at least one successful dialysis session with two-needle cannulation, prior to the index procedure.
Angiographic
* Subject must have angiographic evidence of a stenosis = 50% (by visual estimation) located in the venous outflow of the AV access circuit and present with clinical or hemodynamic evidence of AV fistula dysfunction.
* The target lesion must be = 9cm in length. Note: multiple stenoses may exist within the target lesion.
* The reference vessel diameter of the adjacent non-stenotic vein must be between 5.0 and 9.0mm.

Key exclusion criteria
* The subject is dialyzing with an AV graft.
* The target lesion has had a corresponding thrombosis treated within 7 days prior to the index procedure.
* The hemodialysis access is located in the lower extremity.
* The subject has an infected AV fistula or uncontrolled systemic infection.
* The subject has a known uncontrolled blood coagulation/bleeding disorder.
* The subject has a known allergy or hypersensitivity to contrast media which cannot be adequately pre-medicated.
* The subject has a known hypersensitivity to nickel-titanium (Nitinol) or tantalum.
* The subject has another medical condition, which, in the opinion of the Investigator, may cause him/her to be non-compliant with the protocol, confound the data interpretation, or is associated with a life expectancy insufficient to allow for the completion of study procedures and follow-up.
* The subject is currently participating in an investigational drug or another device study that has not completed the study treatment or that clinically interferes with the study endpoints. Note: Studies requiring extended follow-up visits for products that were investigational, but have since become commercially available, are not considered investigational studies.
Angiographic
* Additional stenotic lesions (= 50%) in the venous outflow that are > 3cm from the edge of the target lesion and are not successfully treated (defined as < 30% residual stenosis) prior to treating the target lesion.
* An aneurysm or pseudoaneurysm is present within the target lesion.
* The location of the target lesion would require the COVERA™ Vascular Covered Stent be deployed across the elbow joint.
* The target lesion is located within a stent.
* The location of the target lesion would require that the COVERA™ Vascular Covered Stent be deployed at or across the segment of fistula utilized for dialysis needle puncture (i.e., "cannulation zone").
* The location of the target lesion would require that the COVERA™ Vascular Covered Stent be placed in the central veins (subclavian, brachiocephalic, superior vena cava (SVC)) or under the clavicle at the thoracic outlet.
* There is incomplete expansion of an appropriately sized angioplasty balloon to its expected profile, in the operator's judgment, during primary angioplasty at the target lesion prior to randomization.
