"Millions of chronic kidney disease patients rely on hemodialysis therapy to stay alive and there is a major unmet need for a simpler and more effective means to provide them with vascular access.” said Adam L. Berman, CEO of TVA Medical. “We remain dedicated to building clinical evidence to document the potential benefit of everlinQ for dialysis patients.”
About the everlinQ System
The everlinQ System is an investigational device that creates an AVF using a minimally-invasive approach. In the procedure, two thin, flexible magnetic catheters are inserted into an artery and vein in the arm. A small burst of radiofrequency energy is used to connect the artery and vein to create the fistula, and the catheters are removed. The everlinQ System has the potential to enable patients to use their AVF for hemodialysis within two months. The everlinQ System is currently being studied in the Novel Endovascular Access Trial (NEAT) clinical study in Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
