One hundred and eighty patients with stenosis of the venous segment of arteriovenous fistula will be recruited for treatment with the cutting balloon or the drug-coated balloon. The primary efficacy endpoint is the 12-month target-lesion primary patency rate. The secondary efficacy endpoints are the 3- and 6-month target-lesion primary patency rate, the 6- and 12-month access-circuit primary patency rate, the total number of target-lesion reintervention, the 12-month target-lesion reintervention rate, and the 12-month access-circuit thrombosis rate.
