New MRI could replace invasive scans for brain AVM Follow-Up

NCT ID NCT02896881

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tested whether special MRI sequences can spot leftover brain arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) after embolization treatment. Researchers compared the MRI results to standard angiography in 53 adults. The study was terminated early, so its findings are limited.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to

If successful, this could make follow-up after AVM treatment easier and safer by using MRI instead of more invasive angiography.

What could go wrong

The study was terminated early, so results are limited. The new MRI method may not be accurate enough to replace standard imaging.
