Central/peripheral venous endovascular stent-grafts are tubular devices placed inside veins—such as the subclavian or brachiocephalic—to keep the blood vessel open. They’re primarily used to treat narrowed sections (stenosis) in veins connected to arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) or grafts, helping restore proper blood flow for hemodialysis patients.
These devices are typically single-use, expanded within the vein, and often come with disposable tools for placement. Regulation varies by jurisdiction, but they’re generally classified based on risk and intended use, with requirements covering safety, performance, and biocompatibility of materials like metal mesh and synthetic coatings.
