The objective of this study is to evaluate efficacy and safety outcomes following use of the Sirolimus-eluting Collagen Implant (SeCI) in subjects undergoing surgical creation of an AV fistula for vascular access (index procedure). Following successful creation of the AV fistula, the cohort randomized to the treatment group will receive the SeCI; the control group will not receive an implant. The primary hypothesis is that the proportion of subjects that meet requirements for fistula suitability for dialysis six months following the index procedure will be higher in the treatment group in comparison to the control group.
