NCT ID NCT04272216
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This completed registry study collected real-world data on 99 patients receiving HydroPearl microspheres to block blood flow to conditions like uterine fibroids, arteriovenous malformations, hypervascular tumors, and benign prostatic hyperplasia. The procedure was done through the radial artery in the wrist instead of the groin. The goal was to measure how often the procedure succeeded and how often complications occurred.
