This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether a device called VasQ — an external support that wraps around newly created dialysis access — helps that access work better and faster than surgery without the device. Researchers want to see if VasQ reduces complications and gets patients to dialysis more quickly. You would receive either surgery with VasQ support or standard surgery, and be followed for 12 months.
People with end-stage kidney disease need reliable access to their bloodstream for dialysis, but newly created access often fails or takes a long time to mature. This trial exists to see whether the new support device can prevent these problems and help patients get to dialysis sooner.

You would have dialysis access surgery performed by your surgeon. Half of participants will receive the surgery with the VasQ device placed around the new access, while the other half will receive standard surgery without it. After surgery, you will have follow-up visits at regular intervals to check how your access is healing and working — with main assessments at 6 months and 12 months after surgery.
