Microwave ablation for vascular malformations: safety and effectiveness study
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests if microwave ablation can safely treat painful or bothersome vascular malformations (abnormal blood vessel clusters). It helps people who have symptoms like pain, swelling, or ulcers that need treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have a vascular malformation (type called venous or arteriovenous) seen on an MRI or ultrasound.
- You should have symptoms like pain, swelling, trouble using the body part, or open sores from the malformation.
- Your doctor must confirm the malformation can be safely reached and treated with microwave ablation.
- You are willing to give permission for the treatment (or a parent can for minors).
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and you do not have a bleeding disorder or active infection near the malformation.

This study compares two treatments for uterine fibroids: microwave ablation alone versus microwave ablation combined with chemical ablation. The goal is to see if adding chemical ablation improves symptom relief and safety.
This study uses two advanced imaging techniques (MSOT and ULM) to better see and understand vascular malformations. It may help doctors diagnose these conditions more accurately.
This trial tests a procedure called radiofrequency ablation (RFA) to treat certain types of vascular malformations (abnormal blood or lymph vessels) that have slow blood flow. It may be an option for people who have symptoms like pain, swelling, or cosmetic concerns and are considering treatment instead of sclerotherapy (injecting medicine into the vessels).
This study looks at how much pain people feel during a microwave treatment for varicose veins in the leg. It aims to understand what factors affect pain, so the treatment can be more comfortable for future patients.
This study compares two minimally invasive treatments (radiofrequency ablation and microwave ablation) for varicose veins in the small saphenous vein. If your varicose veins cause symptoms like pain, swelling, or heaviness, this trial may help determine which treatment works better.
This study tests a microwave ablation device to destroy small liver tumors (up to 4 cm) using heat, without major surgery. It is designed for patients with limited disease (1 or 2 tumors) and good liver function.
