Filter by:This is a single-center, prospective, single-arm clinical study to evaluate the feasibility, safety, and performance of VenoStent's SelfWrap® Bioabsorbable Perivascular Wrap on arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs). All participants are chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients already receiving hemodialysis treatments that are referred for creation of a new arteriovenous fistula (AVF).
The goal of this study is to better understand HHT, the symptoms and complications it causes ("outcomes") and how the disease impacts people's lives. The investigators are aiming to recruit and gather information together in the Registry from 1,000 HHT patients from four HHT Centres of Excellence in North America. The Investigators will collect long-term information about the people in the Registry, allowing the investigators to understand how the disease changes over time, and what factors can influence those changes. Ultimately, this should help improve treatments for the disease.
A new endovascular route for the treatment of brain AVMs may be possible in some cases: Trans-Venous Embolization (TVE). The technique uses microcatheters to navigate to the draining veins of AVM, to reach and then fill the AVM nidus retrogradely with liquid embolic agents until the lesion is occluded. This technique has the potential to improve on some of the problems with the arterial approach to AVM embolization, such as a low overall occlusion rate. However, by occluding the vein first, and filling the lesion with the embolic agent in a retrograde fashion, the method transgresses a widely held dogma in the surgical or endovascular treatment of AVMs: to preserve the draining vein until all afferent vessels have been occluded. Nevertheless, the initial case series have shown promising results, with high occlusion rates, and few technical complications. The method is increasingly used in an increasing number of centers, but there is currently no research protocol to guide the use of this promising but still experimental treatment in a prudent fashion. Care trials can be designed to offer such an experimental treatment, taking into account the best medical interests of patients, in the presence of rapidly evolving indications and techniques.
Evaluate whether a treatment plan based on CT angiography can accurately and precisely identify the target nidus as compared to standard cerebral arteriography fused to MRI.
The objective of this study is to further establish that SQUID, an alternative liquid embolic agent with specific properties, is a safe and effective alternative in bAVM endovascular treatment strategy available to date. Therefore, the performance of SQUID will be documented and its safety of use will be confirmed in current practice.
The goal of this study is to identify genetic alterations resulting in the development of arteriovenous malformation (AVM) in the central nervous system.
