Coil treatment for abnormal blood vessel connections
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a new coil system that blocks abnormal connections between arteries and veins (called arteriovenous malformations or fistulas). The coils are placed through a small tube in the blood vessel to stop blood from flowing the wrong way, which may help reduce symptoms and improve blood flow.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 75 years old.
- You have a condition in your blood vessels (outside the heart or brain) that needs to be blocked off, such as an arteriovenous malformation or fistula.
- The targeted blood vessel must be at least 3 mm wide (about the size of a pencil lead).
- You cannot be allergic to platinum or tungsten (the materials in the coils).
- You must not have had prior embolization or surgery on the same blood vessel, and you must not have severe heart, liver, kidney, or bleeding problems.

This study tests a device called the Cera Vascular Plug System to block blood flow in certain arteries or veins. It may help patients who need this type of treatment for conditions like abnormal blood vessels or bleeding.
This trial tests a liquid embolic agent (a gel-like material) injected into the blood vessels of a brain arteriovenous malformation (AVM) to block abnormal blood flow. It’s for people aged 18 to 80 with certain types of AVMs that doctors think can be treated this way.
This trial tests whether a drug-coated balloon works better than a plain balloon to open up narrowed spots in your dialysis access. If you have a failing AVF with a narrowing that can be treated, this study may help improve your dialysis.
This study tests a new coil device used during a procedure to block abnormal blood vessels in the brain or other areas. It aims to see how safe and effective the coil is for treating arteriovenous malformations.
This study tests a new coil device to treat brain aneurysms, which are bulging blood vessels in the brain that can be dangerous. The coil is placed inside the aneurysm to block blood flow and prevent rupture.
This trial tests a new device that is placed inside a brain aneurysm to block blood flow and prevent it from bursting. It may be an option for people with a single brain aneurysm that has not been treated yet.
