Active clinical trials for "Arteriovenous Malformations"

The purpose of this study is to determine effect of combined medication of sufentanil and dexmedetomidine in patient controlled analgesia after neurosurgery.

The purpose of this study is to discover genes that may cause Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) or Arteriovenous Malformation (AVM).

This registry study is designed to collect data on the procedural success and complication rates in real-world patients undergoing HydroPearl embolization procedures via radial access.

A non-interventional multicentric study for patients with a cerebral AVM for which endovascular treatment is indicated.

Uterine arteriovenous malformations (UAVM) are short circuits between systemic arterial and venous networks within the uterus. They are congenital or acquired (in the course of an endo-uterine gesture such as curettage or interventions such as caesareans or myomectomies). They can be manifested by severe metrorrhagia that can go as far as to put the patient's vital prognosis at risk. There are no recommendations for the management of UAVM since this pathology is rare and therefore series are performed with few cases. If some of these UAVM disappear spontaneously after a therapeutic abstention, when the clinical context allows it, in case of symptomatic UAVM, a selective embolization with arteriography is often carried out to postpone the hysterectomy of hemostasis. There are also more marginal management options such as Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone agonists, methotrexate or curettage that are decided on a case by case basis depending on the symptoms and protocols of each medical team. Regarding subsequent fertility and pregnancy outcomes after conservative treatment, the number of studies is even lower.

This is an open-label whole-body PET/CT study for investigation of radiation dosimetry, plasma pharmacokinetics, biodistribution, safety and diagnostic performance of 68Ga-NEB in healthy volunteers and patients with suspected infection. Changes of routine blood and urine tests and any adverse events will be collected from the volunteers. Adverse events will also be observed in the patients.

To assess safety and efficacy of ONYX treatment for cAVM:

Rapid ventricular pacing (RVP) is a technique to obtain flow arrest for short periods of time during dissection or rupture of the aneurysm. RVP results in an adequate fall of blood pressure which presents as an on-off phenomenon. It is not clear whether repetitive periods of pacing are harmless for the patient. Silent cardiac and cerebral infarcts may be undetected. The investigator will study the safety of RVP, particularly for the heart and the brain, retrograde by studying troponin levels and magnetic resonance imaging or computed tomography.

Arteriovenous malformations (AVM) are abnormally formed blood vessels that can be located throughout the brain and spinal cord. Patients with abnormalities of the blood vessels located in and around the spinal cord can develop many neurological problems. Some problems include, weakness, pain, difficulty walking, paralysis, and even death. The treatment for these AVMs depends on their location, the type of malformation, the area of the spine involved, and the condition of the patient at the time of treatment. The treatment is aimed at stopping the neurologic problems from worsening and possibly correcting the existing problems. There are two commonly used treatments for AVMs, surgery and embolization (blocking off of blood flow to the AVM). However, researchers have limited experience treating these conditions because they are rare. In addition, it has been difficult to classify different kinds of AVMs and to develop new treatments for them. This study is designed to increase researchers understanding of AVMs by admitting and following patients diagnosed with the condition. By increasing the amount of patients studied diagnosed with spinal blood vessel abnormalities, researchers can begin to develop new management plans for patients with AVMs.

Test single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP's) in ruptured and unruptured aneurysm tissue to identify a genetic difference between the two types of aneurysms; and to test SNP's in arteriovenous malformation tissue to identify a genetic link.
