Independent Literature Review: Anastomotic Angles Insights
In an independent literature review published by BMC Nephrology, researchers concluded that maintaining an anastomotic angle of 30-70° leads to superior patency and maturation outcomes. These findings reinforce the belief that VasQ does what it was designed to do: optimize the hemodynamic factors of AVF failure. This study serves as a powerful validation of our mission to improve vascular access for dialysis patients worldwide! Read the publication.

VasQ™ Extravascular Support Granted Transitional Pass-Through (TPT) Payment
The U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has granted VasQ™ extravascular support device a Transitional Pass-Through (TPT) Payment under billing code C8000 (Support device, extravascular, for arteriovenous fistula (implantable). The code, effective starting October 1, 2024, will provide incremental Medicare reimbursement to medical providers for the creation of an extravascular supported fistula with VasQ in addition to the established payment rate for fistula creation. CMS developed the TPT program to facilitate more immediate access for patients to new and truly innovative devices, like devices in the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Breakthrough Devices designation, in which VasQ falls, by allowing for adequate payment to providers while the necessary cost data is collected to incorporate them into the procedure Ambulatory Payment Category (APC) rate.

UK analysis of fistula data finds potential seven-figure cost saving with VasQ device
A cost-modelling analysis in real-world comparator groups has illustrated a potentially significant financial benefit across the UK healthcare system to using the VasQ external support device (Laminate Medical Technologies) for surgical arteriovenous fistula (AVF) creation as a standard of care compared to traditional techniques. European data supporting this—and positive clinical outcomes associated with VasQ—were presented by Robert Shahverdyan (Asklepios Klinik Barmbek, Hamburg, Germany) at the Vascular Access Society of Britain and Ireland (VASBI) annual scientific meeting (29–30 September, Glasgow, UK).

A Randomized MRI-Based Study Reveals VasQ™ External Support Promotes More Stable Hemodynamics than Standard AVFs
Dr. Andrea Remuzzi and his research team at The University of Bergamo have recently published a randomized-controlled MRI-based computational fluid dynamic study in the Journal of Vascular Access that revealed the impact of VasQ™ External Support on fistula morphology and flow. VasQ, a Laminate Medical Technologies device is implanted around the connection between the vein and artery during the creation of an arteriovenous fistula (AVF) for hemodialysis patients with the intent to provide structural reinforcement and promote a more stable flow profile. The MRI study confirmed the device retained a more optimal geometric configuration over the 1-year study period, which promoted a more stable hemodynamic profile. Control patients on the other hand, experienced significant morphological changes, such as atrial "tenting" and angular degradation, that resulted in either an aneurysmal or stenotic AVF with a less stable flow profile.

VasQ™ External Support Comparative U.S. Study Demonstrated Greater Fistula Primary Patency and Usability with a Lower Intervention Rate
The U.S. VasQ™ External Support Comparative Study results were presented this month for the first time globally at the VASA 2022. The study was a propensity-score matched comparison of the VasQ U.S. Pivotal Study single-arm prospective data with untreated contemporary Medicare patients who underwent arterio-venous fistula creation for hemodialysis by the same study surgeons. The study results demonstrated a significant improvement in primary patency and fistula usability with less re-intervention burden within the first 6 months post-creation.

Long-term Device Benefits Demonstrated in the Largest VasQ™ External Support Forearm Fistula Real-World Experience Published To Date
Dr. Robert Shahverdyan, Head of Vascular Access Center at Asklepios Klinik Barmbek of Hamburg, Germany, in partnership with Dr. Dirk Hentschel, President-Elect of VASA and Interventional Nephrologist at Brigham and Women’s Hospital of Boston, MA, have recently published a retrospective analysis of 150 consecutive radiocephalic (forearm) fistula VasQ™ External Support procedures at Seminars in Dialysis. The newly published data demonstrated that implanting VasQ resulted in 90% of fistulas used for dialysis within a median of 41 days and 84% maintaining secondary patency out to 36 months. The results suggested that the addition of VasQ to Dr. Shahverdyan’s standard of care has helped hemodialysis patients receive more functional fistulas that are durable over the long-term.
