Medico-economic Evaluation of the Creation of Arteriovenous Access for Hemodialysis Between Surgical Technique and Endovascular Technique in Patients with End-stage Renal Disease

This multicenter 1 :1 randomized controlled trial aims at comparing the cost-effectiveness of endovascular arteriovenous fistula (AVF) creation using Ellipsys® and WaveLinQ® devices with traditional surgical AVF creation for hemodialysis. The primary endpoint is the cost-utility ratio (cost per QALY gained), with an anticipated sample size of 252 patients. This study will provide critical insights into the viability and cost-effectiveness of endovascular techniques, potentially shaping future standards of care in hemodialysis access.
