Filter by:This clinical trial is to verify the safety and effectiveness of the Non-adhesive Liquid Embolic System(NALES) produced by Suzhou Hengrui Hongyuan Medical Technology Co., Ltd. in the process of clinical use to support the application of the National Medical Products Administration ( NMPA) product registration approval.
Laser treatment (LT) is the first-line treatment for Vascular Pathology. However even when LT is based on the selective photothermolysis it causes the first-degree burns. While being typically benign by affecting only the epidermis, or outer layer of skin, the burn site is remaining red, dry, and very painful. As Haemoblock contains nanoparticles of silver and is known for both bactericidal and bacteriostatic effects, it likely decreases the potential for infection postoperatively. Furthermore, after fibrin replaces the superficial structure "Hemoblock-albumin", the polyacrylate matrix is plasmolyzed which initiates the cascade of signals required for the tissue regeneration processes. Objective of the study was to examine the effect of the Regenerative Solution "Hemoblock" in lowering postoperative complications in children diagnosed with Vascular Pathology undergoing a laser surgery if delivered with transdermal patches.
The study aimed to retrospectively review cases of brain arteriovenous malformation that were surgical resected with the patient awake during the procedure.
BALT has designed an electronic platform to continue collecting clinical data as part of the post-marketing clinical follow-up of its devices. This platform is purely exploratory, without hierarchical order of the objectives and associated outcomes.
Background: RASopathies are a group of conditions caused by a genetic change. People with a RASopathy may have developmental issues, cognitive disability, poor growth, and birth defects. They may also have an increased risk for developing cancer. Researchers want to learn more. Objective: To learn more about RASopathies, how genes and environmental factors contribute to cancer development in people with RASopathies, and the best way to find these cancers and other conditions early or prevent them. Eligibility: People of any age who have or may have a RASopathy, and their family members. Design: Participants will complete questionnaires about their personal and family medical history. Their medical records will be reviewed. Participants will give blood and urine samples. They will give a saliva or cheek cell sample. Some samples will be used for genetic testing. Participants may have a skin biopsy. Participants may have a physical exam by the RASopathies study team. They may also have exams by additional specialists, such as dentists; urologists; ear, nose, and throat doctors; and neurologists. Participants may have computed tomography of the face and mouth. They may have an ultrasound of the abdomen. They may have a bone density scan. They may have skeletal and/or spine x-rays. They may have magnetic resonance imaging of the brain, low back, chest, and/or heart. They may be photographed. Participants may have other tests, such as sleep, brain and heart electrical activity, speech and swallow, metabolism, hearing, eye, and colon function tests. Participants may sign separate consent forms for some tests. Participation will last indefinitely. Participants may be contacted once in a while by phone or mail. They may have follow-up visits.
The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the ability of laser speckle contrast imaging to visualize blood flow in real time during neurosurgery. Real-time blood flow visualization during surgery could help neurosurgeons better understand the consequences of vascular occlusion events during surgery, recognize potential adverse complications, and thus prompt timely intervention to reduce the risk of stroke. The current standard for visualizing cerebral blood flow during surgery is indocyanine green angiography (ICGA), which involves administering a bolus of fluorescent dye intravenously and imaging the wash-in of the dye to determine which vessels are perfused. Unfortunately, ICGA can only be used a few times during a surgery due to the need to inject a fluorescent dye, and provides only an instantaneous view of perfusion rather than a continuous view. Laser speckle contrast imaging does not require any dyes or tissue contact and has the potential to provide complementary information to ICGA. In this study we plant to collect blood flow images with laser speckle contrast imaging and to compare the images with ICGA that is performed as part of routine care during neurovascular surgical procedures such as aneurysm clipping.
The purpose of this research is to gather information on the safety and effectiveness of core biopsy of vascular anomalies for clinical pathology and clinical genomics studies.
Cerebral and medullary arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are morphologically abnormal vessels located on the surface or in the cerebral or medullary parenchyma. These vascular lesions cause the arterial and venous networks to communicate pathologically, creating an arteriovenous shunt.The prevalence of cerebral Cerebral and medullary AVMs in general population is difficult to establish given the rarity of the condition. However, it is estimated at around 1 per 10,000 inhabitants (0.01%). About 15-20% of the cerebral vascular accidents are asymptomatic at the time of diagnosis. The occurrence of intracranial haemorrhage is the most important prognostic factor because it is associated with a significant morbidity and mortality. The management of an AVM is usually carried out in a multidisciplinary way, combining interventional neuroradiology, neurosurgery and vascular neurology. The genetic, molecular and cellular mechanisms that cause vascular malformations of the central nervous system are partially known. Several recent research works highlight mutations in the RAS-MAPK or MAPK-ERK signalling pathway in AVMs. In cases of cerebral AVMs considered to be sporadic, a somatic KRAS/BRAF mutation has recently been demonstrated in tissue samples of operated AVMs. Except in the case of Hereditary Haemorrhagic Telangiectasia (HHT or Rendu-Osler-Weber syndrome), the influence of genetic damage on the prognosis of AVM is poorly known. It is also interesting to note that genetic screening is not routinely performed in patients with cerebro-medullary AVMs and that therefore the prevalence of these clinical entities in patients with AVMs is not known.
Cerebral Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are abnormal tangles which are usually believed congenital. AVM can cause different symptoms depending on where it is located, but the most common symptoms are intracranial hemorrhage and seizure. Outcomes of AVM patients can be very different due to factors like the location of lesion, age, sex etc. Generally, more early the intervention was taken, the risk of adverse events would be lower. But the selection of surgical timing for pediatric AVM patients is hard to judge, due to children's cerebral vessels angioarchitecture can be still developing with their age. Some previous studies indicated that there is no difference in intervention outcomes between pediatric and adult AVM patients, so pediatric patients should undergo more aggressive intervention. DOPA study aims to compare the clinical intervention outcomes of both pediatric and adult patients with eloquent region cerebral arteriovenous malformations, helping to determine the treatment strategy.
This study is a multi-center, prospective, registry study. This research was supported by the National Key Research and Development Program. They were divided into experimental group and control group according to whether the treatment plan was formulated by a multidisciplinary team. Patients of experimental group is strictly in accordance with standardized multi-disciplinary treatment protocols and meet the following criteria: 1. A multi-disciplinary conference discussion; 2. Detailed preoperative evaluation based on CT, MRI, fMRI and DSA. 3. Treatment modalities meet the following treatment criteria（craniotomy, embolization and stereotactic radiosurgery）. The control group was patients who had not been treated according to a multi-disciplinary treatment protocol. Patient baseline data, AVM angioarchitectural features, imaging DICOM data, surgical information, and follow-up information were registered. All patients were evaluated for neurofunction at baseline, 3 months, 12 months, and 3 years after treatment. Main observation endpoints: 1. Modified Rankin Scale; 2. Obliteration rate; 3. Subsequent hemorrhage; 4. Complication rate (such as morbidity rate, new-onset neurological dysfunction, and radiation-related complications). Secondary observation endpoint: improvement of clinical symptoms (epilepsy, headache, neurological dysfunction) at 3 months, 12 months, and 3 years after treatment.
