Designed for end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients requiring hemodialysis, the Ellipsys™ system is a unique single-catheter, nonsurgical option for physicians to create an arteriovenous (AV) fistula, a traditionally invasive procedure that — until the advent of percutaneous AVF technology — had not changed in more than 50 years.
