Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Devices - Covera Vascular Covered Stent following PTA
Treatment: Surgery - Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty (PTA) with Uncoated PTA Balloon

Experimental: Covera Vascular Covered Stent following PTA - Placement of the Covera Vascular Covered Stent following percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA)

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 either a male or non-pregnant female = 21 years of age with an
expected lifespan sufficient to allow for completion of all 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.

Can healthy volunteers participate?

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.
