Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Randomised trial where participants with dysfunctional haemodialysis access are assessed by pre-treatment duplex ultrasound. Patients will assessed, counselled and consented by the same vascular team.
They will then be allocated to receiving percutaneous transluminal angioplasty with either paclitaxel coated balloon or plain ( control) balloon.
A single one-off intervention will be performed the same vascular surgeon in the vascular operating theatre in the same hospital. Surgical techniques will be standardised, performed under local anaesthetic, diagnostic angiogram performed and the appropriate sized balloon inflated to 1 minute to nominal pressure. For device failure, further angioplasty is performed with introduction of a high-pressure balloon of appropriate size and inflation to appropriate pressure for three minutes. In case of a flow-limiting dissection, a bare metal nitinol stent of appropriate size is introduced and placed; and in case of a rupture, a covered stent of appropriate size is introduced and placed. A post-procedure angiogram is performed.

Efficacy
Statistical methods / analysis
A sample size of 17 patients per group is required to detect a difference of 25% in patency rate with a power of 80% and a Type I error of 5 %. With the assumption of 10% loss of follow-up in each group, a sample size of 20 patients per group is required.

Data will be analyzed following intention to treat principle.
Primary and secondary outcomes will be reported as relative risk and 95% confidence intervals. Confounding variables will be controlled by logistic regression.
