Vein of Galen Malformations Clinical Trial
Official title:
Fetal Treatment of Galenic Malformations
This is a prospective, single-arm non-randomized interventional study of fetuses to assess the safety and efficacy of fetal embolization of Vein of Galen Malformation (VOGM). Subjects will receive a one-time study intervention of fetal embolization. Follow-up assessments will be collected every 4 weeks until delivery, as per standard of care. After delivery, neurological assessments will be performed every 6 months for 2 years (adjusted for gestational age). Data will be compared to historical cohorts.
The study involves a single fetal intervention of maternal transuterine, fetal transcranial torcular puncture and median prosencephalic vein embolization. Detachable platinum coils (Target XL and XXL Detachable Coil, Stryker Neurovascular) will be used to pack the prosencephalic varix. This procedure will take place in an obstetric OR at Brigham and Women's Hospital. Data will be collected every 4 weeks post-procedure until delivery, as per standard of care. Data regarding delivery and post-delivery status will also be collected until the subject is discharged from the hospital. After delivery, neurological assessments will be performed every 6 months for 2 years (adjusted for gestational age). Data will be compared to historical cohorts. ;
