Study Summary

This is a pilot, single-center, randomized trial of 90 subjects to evaluate complication rates and functional status decline in subjects age 65 years and older referred for vascular access placement. Subjects will be randomized to arteriovenous fistula (AVF) (n = 45) versus arteriovenous graft (AVG) (n = 45), placed in a vascular access monitoring protocol, and undergo measurements of functional status including gait speed, grip strength, and self-reported function over 6 months. The primary hypothesis to be tested is that AVF placement will result in a higher proportion of primary access failure as defined by a binary composite primary endpoint of an unsalvageable access or an immature access or a non-functional access measured at 6 months compared to AVG placement. In addition, the study will evaluate whether AVF placement and a greater number of access procedures will result in a greater decline in functional status as measured by the average change over 6 months in gait speed, grip strength, and self-reported function as assessed by the Disabilities in Arm, Shoulder and Hand Survey.
