About this study

Official title: Study on Benefits and Risks of Hybrid Operation in the Treatment of Complex Brain Arteriovenous Malformations

Complex brain arteriovenous malformations (bAVMs) in ≥3 Spetzler-Martin grades have long been challenges among cerebrovascular diseases. None of the traditional methods, such as microsurgical operation, endovascular intervention, or stereotactic radiotherapy, can completely eliminate complex bAVMs without a risk of neural function deterioration. The multistaged hybrid operation solved part of the challenge but remained risky in the installment procedures and intervals. The one-staged hybrid operation was applied in the surgical treatment of cerebrovascular diseases and proved to be a potentially safe and effective method for curing complex bAVMs. However, lacking the support of high-level evidence, its advantages remain unclear. This study was proposed to validate the benefits and risks of one-staged hybrid operation in the treatment of complex bAVMs, as well as its indications, key technologies, and workflows.

Read the detailed description

The study is being conducted from Jan 2016 to Dec 2020 with 20 cooperation units. It consists of 2 sets. The registry set is designed as a prospective real-world registry. The trial set is designed as a prospective pragmatic clinical trial, specifically for the patients with perforating arterial feeders. The two sets share a common grouping: the traditional operation group and the one-staged hybrid operation group. The assignment is based on the clinical condition in the registry set and is randomized in the trial set. End points will be evaluated at scheduled time points. The safety and efficiency of one-staged hybrid operation in treating complex bAVMs will be validated.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • one-staged hybrid operationProcedure or surgery

    An integrated procedure that consists of microsurgery, intraoperative DSA, endovascular intervention techniques and other assistance tools. All the procedures are performed in a one-staged operation without any intermission or any transfer of patients.

  • Traditional microsurgical operationProcedure or surgery

    The classical mode of operations in neurosurgery. The operation is performed with neurosurgical instruments and microscope. Some of assisting tools can be used in the operation, such as neuro-navigation, Doppler probe, neural electrophysiological monitoring and so on. But neither the intraoperative DSA nor endovascular intervention techniques is used in the operation

Study groups in NCT03774017
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Traditional microsurgery groupOtherPatients receive only traditional microsurgical operations in traditional operating theaters or the one-staged hybrid operation theater. No endovascular intervention technique or intraoperative digital subtraction angiography(DSA) will be performed. The DSA will be performed in 3 days after the operation.
Receives: Procedure: Traditional microsurgical operation
Hybrid operation groupExperimentalPatients receive microsurgical operation under the assistance of intraoperative DSA, endovascular embolization and/or balloon occlusion in the one-staged hybrid operating theater.
Receives: Procedure: one-staged hybrid operation
