Risk factors for rupture of flow-related aneurysms in posterior brain AVMs

Risk Factors Related to Rupture Flow-related Aneurysms in Posterior Arteriovenious Malformation: A Muti-center Observentional Research.

The First Affiliated Hospital with Nanjing Medical University · NCT07050381

This project tries to find which clinical and imaging features make flow-related aneurysms in posterior brain arteriovenous malformations more likely to rupture in people with subarachnoid hemorrhage.

What this trial studies

This is an observational analysis of patients with posterior cerebral AVMs that have flow-related aneurysms, using digital subtraction angiography to identify aneurysms and CT to confirm subarachnoid hemorrhage. Investigators will collect clinical and imaging data from cases seen at two Nanjing hospitals and characterize features such as aneurysm size, location, and AVM angioarchitecture. They will compare patterns among ruptured versus non-ruptured presentations to identify factors associated with aneurysm rupture. No interventions are performed; the goal is to define risk markers that can inform clinical decision making.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are patients with posterior brain AVMs who have flow-related aneurysms identified by DSA and a CT-confirmed subarachnoid hemorrhage, without a history of stroke, Marfan syndrome, or polycystic kidney disease.

Not a fit: Patients who do not have flow-related aneurysms, who lack adequate clinical or imaging records, or who have excluded conditions (for example Marfan syndrome or polycystic kidney disease) are not eligible and are unlikely to benefit from this analysis.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the results could help doctors recognize which flow-related aneurysms on posterior AVMs are most likely to rupture and prioritize monitoring or treatment accordingly.

How similar studies have performed: Previous meta-analyses and cohort studies have reported higher hemorrhage rates when AVMs are accompanied by flow-related aneurysms, but focused analyses specifically on posterior AVMs and ruptured flow-related aneurysms remain limited.
