Filter by:This is a clinical trial/study for patients diagnosed with brain arteriovenous malformation (AVM). An AVM is an abnormal connection between the arteries and veins of the brain. Patients considered for this trial are 21 years and younger with AVM suitable for embolization treatment (a procedure used to block the abnormal connection between the arteries and veins of the brain) with Onyx Liquid Embolic System (Onyx LES) or TruFill n-Butyl Cyanoacrylate (n-BCA) Liquid Embolic System (both are liquid substances used in the embolization procedure to block the abnormal connection).
In this research study investigators want to learn more about capillary malformations which are also known as port wine stains. Investigators are asking children with capillary malformations (port wine stains) to be in the research, because investigators do not have a good idea of what to expect from the current treatments of these malformations. These malformations are treated with laser as clinically indicated and there are no standardized methods to assess improvement.
To now, two alternatives for the management of venous vascular malformations are recognized, appropriate to the location, size and patients: sclerosis and surgery. However, sclerosis is effective on symptoms in 80% of cases and excision removes the malformation completely or partially, but it is aggressive and recurrences are common.
The phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3Kinase)/Protein Kinase B (AKT)/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTor) pathway plays a role on the development and the lymphatic-vascular organisations. The investigators want to study the efficacy and the safety of Rapamycin, an mTor inhibitor.
The purpose of this observational study is to ascertain the effects of cutaneous air cooling on vessel diameter within Capillary Malformations (CM).
The purpose of this prospective, clinical observational trial is to assess the incidence of pain (and analgesia), methods of pain assessment (and by whom), prescribed analgesics, methods of analgesic delivery, and patient/parent satisfaction in patients undergoing craniotomy surgery at three major children's hospitals (Boston Children's Hospital, Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, The Children's Center Johns Hopkins Hospital) in the United States.
To take part in this study you/your child have a vascular malformation, a type of blood vessel disorder whose cause is unknown. The investigators will do this by looking at changes in the genes and proteins in the cells of the malformation as well as normal cells. The investigators are doing this research because currently there is no known cause of vascular malformations and no way to know whether or not other health problems will occur in addition to the malformation. Through this research we hope to create standard methods for doctors to examine and treat people with vascular anomalies.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the Matrix RF for Port Wine Stains based on clinical and histological analyses.
The primary objective is to determine the effects of Aldara on the cosmetic outcome of laser treatment of vascular malformations.
The purpose of this study is to determine if the use of sirolimus in the treatment of children and young adults with complicated vascular anomalies will prove to be safe and provide objective response resulting in improved clinical status and quality of life.
