This is a research study for people with chronic kidney failure who are waiting for a kidney transplant but have blocked or damaged blood vessels in their pelvis that make transplantation impossible. The study tests whether placing a specially made tube (called an endoprosthesis) in the artery can prepare these vessels so they can safely receive a kidney transplant. If successful, this treatment could give patients another chance at transplantation and a better quality of life.
Many people waiting for kidney transplants are turned away because their blood vessels have severe calcification, blockages, or other damage that makes standard transplant surgery too risky. This trial exists to see if preparing the blood vessels first with a custom-made tube can safely open the door to transplantation for these patients who currently have no other options.

You likely don't qualify if…
If you qualify, you would receive a procedure to place a custom-made tube in your pelvic artery to prepare your blood vessels for transplant. After this preparation, you would be monitored closely with regular medical visits to ensure the tube is working properly and your vessels are healing. Once your vessels are ready, you would then proceed to receive your kidney transplant through standard surgery.
